The squidguard ebuild on my system indicates that it RDEPENDS on >=sys-libs/db-2, meaning that any version of the db package >= 2 should satisfy this dependency.
I have squid and squidguard running here, and they ebuilt fine; I do not recall having any errors or problems emerging squidguard. In terms of it being outdated, I don't know. I looked at a few filtering packages, and squidguard seemed to be the best; the issue is not so much the code being out of date since it seems to have a good level of functionailty. More to the point is keepign the site list up to date, and I am not sure how well that part works out. It has, over the past few months, worked very well to keep my kids out of the porn sites, which is the reason I installed it in the first place. I cannot tell you what versions I have installed; I have yet to figure out how to do that under gentoo. Under debian I had apt-show-packages; is there something similar I should be using? If you post the full output of your attempt to emerge squidguard, maybe I or (more likely) someone more knowledgeable could help you out. nl On Sunday 08 February 2004 09:37 pm, Eric Livingston wrote: > I tried emerging Squidguard today, and it failed immediately on the first > .c file, complaining about mismatched parameters in sgDbInit. > > With a bit of research, I quickly discovered three things: > > 1.
