esound won't emerge. I have emerge -C'd audiofile and then emerged it back, with no luck. I am not doing anything unusual to my knowledge, though for some time I was emerging several packages concurrently which I have been told is not a good idea. I am only trying to install gentoo with kde and gnome and webmail as I found outlined in the excellent docs provided. I do not yet have a complete system running, only system, X, and some package dependencies of gnome and kde. Here is what emerge output I suspect may have the answers: Excerpt from Output of configure.... checking for mme/mme_api.h... no --------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Checking to see which audio libraries are required for linking. --- Most of these checks should also fail.
