Hello, I was going to install 'webalizer' (apache monitoring

!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call

I tried to do 'USE="png" emerge -update gd', and I got a scary list
of package ebuilds:
[ebuild N ] media-libs/gd-2.0.33 USE="png*"
[ebuild N ] media-libs/freetype-2.1.10-r2
[ebuild N ] media-libs/libpng-1.2.12
[ebuild N ] sys-devel/libtool-1.5.22
....skipped
What should I do in this case? How exactly should I update my 'gd'
package? Sorry, I am still new to the emerge system.
Thanks,
Fei
Hello, I am just reporting back, I have this fixed (by trying with -p
flag):
USE="png jpeg" emerge -vkp gd
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] media-libs/gd-2.0.33 USE="jpeg* png* truetype
-fontconfig -xpm" 0 kB
One thing I am curious is, it seems a lot of source code packages are
cached on my local machine, what should I do to remove them from my
hard drive?
Fei
This "cached packages" as you call them are termed distfiles
(distfiles.gentoo.org) and located in /usr/portage/distfiles because if
you want to re-emerge a package you won't need to download it again. If
you run out of diskspace, just mount /usr/portage/distfiles on another
partition or harddisk.
