Description Tim Haynes (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-28 09:46:56 UTC 
mc-4.6.0.ebuild should be modified such that the glib entry in DEPEND= looks like:

glib? ( =dev-libs/glib-2* )

instead - or choose another USE name instead of glib.  It compiles just fine
without glib-2.x installed and I don't necessarily want glib-2.x on a server box...
Comment 1 Brad Cowan (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-05-05 00:12:09 UTC 
I don't really want to make that dependency optional distro wide especially when the mc docs say "To compile any edition you need to have GLib installed"
