Not quite (smile) ! -- I ran into this & sent bugs to Gentoo + KDE ; the outcome was that I discovered that Phonon doesn't in fact demand that you install the actual sound software : it works to do 'USE="gstreamer" --nodeps emerge phonon' & Kdelibs then compiles successfully as well. If you compile KDE outside Portage, there's a "nosound" flag, but the Gentoo devs have implemented that to require 'USE=<soundpkg>", perhaps knowing that it cb happily ignored via '--nodeps'. Just don't expect this to be documented anywere (grimace). -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
