There's also a lengthy post in the forums about it: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-34174-highlight-xdirectfb.html One post mentions that this might be a gcc-3.4 issue. Have you tried emerging it using 3.3? HTH, Matt Thanks for the link, I have been through all the forums and what feels like most of the rest of the web looking for a solution. I have tried emerging it with gcc 3.2.3.3.3.4 - none work. If someone can point me to a good tutorial on unpacking / fixing / repacking an ebuild etc I might have a go at fixing the package. C is not my thing but I might end up having a go. I need XDirectFB to work. Either that or I'll just get the Xorg source and patch it with the latest XDirectFB cvs and make install that forget about using ebuilds for either - but I'd prefer to have a fixed ebuild. Thanks for the response.

I have DriectFB and VDR all working now - just need XDirectFB to be working and its all done. Thanks a lot. Anthony. I have searched for a long time for a solution to this. I would recommended to build it yourself (althought that has never worked for me either) it might help you. But the question has been asked by a lot of people for a long time, and no solutions or comments have been suggested. Perhaps there is regex somewhere deep within Gentoo that has XDirectFB piped to /dev/null (terrible joke.. but hey its late and i'm tired). Anyways if you do find a solution and get XDirectFB built.. share the knowledge ;P I'm thinking I might have a go at fixing this - it is sufficiently annoying to warrant further investigation. If I come up with a fix I'll post it here and submit it back to the gentoo bugs page. Thanks for the help.
