I was just reading that. Anyways, thanks everyone for the help.

Thanks for input, gives me an idea of some of my bad habits. I had instinctively put "media-libs/aalib -gpm" in package.use. I have never used "USE="*" emerge something". Wasn't sure if ./.libs/libaa.so: undefined reference to `Gpm_Wgetch' was the the failure of compiling aalib or not. Now off to figure out this reporting bug thing. Also since I did not oneshot that package, should I remove it then -auDN @world and let it get pulled back in as a dependency?

Thanks, worked like a charm. I remember after being half asleep last night searching for gpm somewhere. But can you tell me how you came up with that as solution, I like to try and figure things out or understand why. again thanks for the help

I've tried emerge a few programs that fail because of aalib dep. When emerge aalib alone it fails. Have not been able to find anything useful online yet. At least VLC and electricsheep require this. Havent tried to USE="-aalib" yet, but I'd think I'd want it compiled. But either way it's an issue and I'd like to learn how to resolve it if possible. emerge --info aalib.info.txt emerge -pqv aalib.pqv.txt ebuild environment aalib.env.txt build log aalib.build.log.txt
