Hans, Thank you, I understand. Apparently I have to add some ruby_targets_ruby19 USE flags to my system. I pasted a snippet of my /etc/portage/package.use below. I included some other entries for context. Question 1: Is it true that, except for this new RUBY stuff, every entry in my package.use file is an attempt by me to enable some feature I want in a package I want? Answer 1: Yes Question 2: Does it seem weird that portage wants me to add USE flags to enable some feature in a package I never heard of and have no interest in and to top it off has a very weird name (ruby_targets_ruby19)? Answer 2: [your answer here] The tone of this message might sound obnoxious, but it's just a "trick" I am using to better ask my question. I'm not complaining (I don't even know enough about this to have a complaint), I'm really just curious. Thank you, Chris === >From /etc/portage/package.use: # Give a GUI to cmake dev-util/cmake qt4 # Enable git-svn, gitk, and git bash completion dev-vcs/git tk bash-completion subversion dev-vcs/subversion -dso perl # Enable nice mounts in gnome gnome-base/gvfs fuse # Enable plotting in octave sci-mathematics/octave gnuplot # Satisfy Gentoo's desire to have RUBY and rdoc installed dev-ruby/rubygems ruby_targets_ruby19 dev-ruby/rake ruby_targets_ruby19 dev-ruby/racc ruby_targets_ruby19 dev-ruby/rdoc ruby_targets_ruby19 dev-ruby/json ruby_targets_ruby19
