Hi all,

I try to do an [emerge -e system] and get this error :

****************************************************************************
/usr/bin/emacs -batch -l /var/tmp/portage/gpm-1.20.1/work/gpm-1.20.1/contrib/ema
cs/exec.el -exec '(byte-compile-file "emacs/t-mouse.el")'
/usr/bin/emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.2: cannot open sh
ared object file: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [emacs/t-mouse.elc] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gpm-1.20.1/work/gpm-1.20.1/contrib'
make: *** [do-all] Error 1

!!! ERROR: sys-libs/gpm-1.20.1 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 46, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)
****************************************************************************

which is pretty obvious considering :

****************************************************************************
# locate libXm.so
/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01/jre/lib/i386/libXm.so.3
/usr/lib/libXm.so
/usr/lib/libXm.so.3.0.2
/usr/lib/libXm.so.3
****************************************************************************

My questions are :

a. Why is this happening (i.e. is this a bug, or a misconfiguration on my side)
b. How should I fix this ?
c. Is gpm a must?, I can't really verify that I use the mouse in the console.
if not how can I remove it(gpm) from [system] so that the [emerge -e]
can be finished successfully.

I'm new enough to gentoo, so that if further information is required
please be kind enough to ask (:

Thank you.
