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

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
You should add "png" to /etc/make.conf or /etc/portage/package.use
and then reemerge gd lib (emerge --newuse gd).

Hi Jay, thank you, please see my other thread, I used 'USE="png"
emerge -kv gd' to fix this problem. But it's good to learn the
--newuse flag. Do you know what I should do to remove all the cached
source code packages?
Fei
Hey!
See my e-mail or "Boyed Stephen Smith Jr.'s mail". Don't use
USE="blabla" emerge package or ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="..", because these
settings are just temporary and when will only be applied to this one
emerge.
I haven't used -k (--usepkg) yet however the man page tells me that -k
means, that precompiled packages should be used. So your USE flag does
not take any effect.
Btw.: You shouldn't say that this problem is fixed as you just have used
something precompiled and preconfigured. You should better digg deeper
into emerge and USE flags. Otherwise you will never understand portage
which is _essential_ for understanding and using Gentoo Linux. This is
just and advice...
Best Regards Jay
