ummmmmm you can't be following the post properly, go back to the begining of this thread and start over. It can't possibly pull in the packages you are getting if you follow the directions properly

If you don't have the use set you can do:

Code: Select all

echo "x11-libs/libX11 xcb" >> /etc/portage/package.use

I had the same problem as Jmanfoo,

Build libX11 with USE="xcb"

I've had to manually emerge libX11 to continue.

:shock:

I think last night I just found out what I did. I emerged Scribus. When I did that it emerged qt-3.3.8-r2 (or some version like that) as a required dependency.

I added it to the howto directions

EDIT: Compiz-Fusion is moving everything to 0.5.2 so we have to change our /etc/portage/package.keywords See the new Changes below

compiz-9999 isn't going to work no more, they made compiz-0.5.2 so it will work with all the plugins. Read this entire post before you start.

First lets make sure your /etc/portage/package.keywords is setup correctly, it should look like below:

Code: Select all

x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-atlantis **
x11-plugins/compiz-users-pafy-screensaver **
x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-threed **


well I don't really know what any of it means, and I'm still very new to sabayon and linux. so my /etc/portage/package.keywords right now looks like this:

dev-python/compizconfig-python **
x11-wm/compiz **
x11-wm/compiz-fusion **
x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-main **
x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-extra **
x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported **
x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-threed **
x11-wm/emerald **
x11-themes/emerald-themes **
x11-apps/ccsm **
x11-libs/libcompizconfig **
x11-libs/compizconfig-backend-gconf **
x11-libs/compizconfig-backend-kconfig **
x11-libs/compiz-bcop **
x11-apps/fusion-icon **

am I supposed to delete all of that and just paste what you have in the first step? so that it will only be those three lines? sorry if this is a noob question, I just don't want to screw anything up. thanks!
