emerge -Dv nedit gives LessTif detected. @(#)GNU/LessTif Version 2.1 Release 0.94.4 ERROR: Untested LessTif Version: @(#)GNU/LessTif Version 2.1 Release 0.94.4 You are attempting to build NEdit with a version of LessTif that has not been verified to work well with NEdit. This could be fine, but it could also lead to crashes and instability. Historically, older versions of Motif have quite often been more stable than newer versions when used with NEdit, so don't assume newer is better. NEdit is known to work with LessTif versions: 0.92.32 0.94.0 0.93.12 0.93.18 0.93.94 and is known to be very stable with Open Motif versions 2.1.30 and 2.2.3, which are freely available from several sources, including: http://www.opengroup.org/openmotif/ http://www.ist.co.uk/DOWNLOADS/motif_download.html Also, unless you need a customized NEdit you should STRONGLY consider downloading a pre-built binary from http://www.nedit.org, since these are the most stable versions. If you really want to build an untested version of NEdit you can override this sanity check by adding -DBUILD_UNTESTED_NEDIT to the CFLAGS variable in your platform's Makefile (e.g. makefiles/Makefile.linux) make[1]: *** [check_tif_rule] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/nedit-5.5/work/nedit-5.5/util' make: *** [linux] Error 2 !!!
