BTW2: Second guessing portage by emerging a dependency individually to add extra functionality (like someone at work assuming that emerging gd would add gd support to php) will rarely ever work. Find the USE flag which enables the functionality you want, and re-emerge the package in question, not it's dependency! This is pretty much the reverse of binary distros, like debian. -- Mike Williams
