I was trying to emerge alsaplayer and i have use="-kde qt" in my make.conf because I am a gnome user, but I don't mind having QT based apps on my system. I didn't have QT as yet, and it built up a dependency list like this: graphviz-1.7.15-r2 doxygen-1.2.15-r1 libungif-4.1.0-r1 qt-2.3.2-r1 unixodbc-2.0.6 qt-3.0.4.1-r1 alsaplyer-0.99.70-r1 However doxygen fails because it seems to also need qt. So, I did an emerge qt, then an emerge doxygen, and then an emerge alsaplayer and all was well. This may simply be a bug in the doxygen, but it looks like it has the dependeny is there for qt, but for some reason Portage wants to build it before it builds qt. Sean
Wout, subject says it all..
Ok, changed qt dependency syntax. Should work now.
