Yes, if the dependencies are not in your outdated portage tree, although it appears you got away with it this time. Why don't you want an up to date portage tree? Its not that I don't want an updated portage tree. Its just that I've let my installation get fairly aged while doing other things for the last several mnths. In that time I've forgotten most of what goes into keeping an updated system running smooth. Last time I updated portage it seems I had lots of other things arise from that. It took a few weeks to get running smoothly again. Right now I didn't want to spend the time on it since I'm heavily involved with video editing on several projects and am in the middle of getting my property ready for sale to boot. I would like to see an outline of what it takes to update the whole system but as I recall its all in gentoo documentation but will require quite extensive reading. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Here I see nothing like that happen even though I have now installed

Can you coach me on creating these templates myself? My perl skills
while deep enough for some fairly complex homemade scripts are not
deep enough to go thru the perl script and figure out what goes into a
template.
Maybe I could just copy yours.. Do you have have something at:
/usr/lib/bbgallery/template?

Things like OpenOffice, KDE, glibc, and all the other behemoths take a while (like up to a couple of hours, depending on CPU) to compile each. So 10 hours is definitely not something to worry about. -- Regards, Patrick Börjesson PGP signature: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0x21792A5D PGP fingerprint: 74AF D4EF 6BDE CF77 16BE 6A29 CDB8 7607 2179 2A5D pgpdCNC25ZX9V.pgp Description: PGP signature

I had searched portage before posting about gimp-perl. It's not in

How can I get that package without a full on update of portage which I
don't want to do right now?

No such links appear after `emerge -v bbgallery' so I guess not.

Dave Nebinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: No templates at all. Any one here have experience with this tool or can suggest a debugging approach. First, file it as a bug as the ebuild would be incomplete. Second, you might need to build the package from scratch in order to determine if it is a build issue in general (i.e. perhaps there's some option you need to give to configure or make in order to get the templates). If you figure out how to get the templates include that with your bug report. A little further input here: building from scratch produces no errors but when the binary is run it errors out looking for Gimp.pm which needs to be installed. emerge doesn't list this as a dependancy. However using cpan I attempted to install that package (Gimp::Module) It fails to build with cpan with this error: [...] now invoking perl to complete the configuration... 1887: exec /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL --writemakefile PREFIX=/usr FATAL: unable to deduce plugindir from gimptool script Running make test Make had some problems, maybe interrupted?
