Hello. In my system, python was without tk use flag, i.e. it was compiled with "-tk". Installing and running gato gave the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/gato", line 48, in <module> import tkFont ImportError: No module named tkFont After adding "tk" to python's use-Flags in package.use and re-emerging python, the error message is gone and calling gato produces interactive windows. :-) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gato 2. gato Actual Results: ImportError: No module named tkFont see description Expected Results: interactive windows, program running lapmdb-hpl ~ #>> emerge --info Portage 2.1.11.9 (unavailable, gcc-4.5.4, glibc-2.15-r2, 3.5.2-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-3.5.2-gentoo-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-_i5-2430M_CPU_@_2.40GHz-with-gentoo-2.1 Timestamp of tree: Wed, 12 Sep 2012 10:45:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.2_p37 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11-r3 dev-lang/python: 2.7.3-r2, 3.2.3 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.8-r3 dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.27.1 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.1-r1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.9.8.4 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.5 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.68 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.11.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.22-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.5.4 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.7.3 sys-devel/libtool: 2.4-r1 sys-devel/make: 3.82-r3 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 3.4-r2 (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.15-r2 Repositories: gentoo seden ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/dconf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FCFLAGS="" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs config-protect-if-modified distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles news parallel-fetch parse-eapi-ebuild-head protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" FFLAGS="" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="de_DE.utf8" LDFLAGS="" LINGUAS="de en fr" MAKEOPTS="-j5" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --human-readable --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/var/lib/layman/seden" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acpi alsa avx branding bzip2 cdda cddb cdinstall cdparanoia cdr cgi cracklib css dbus dedicated dga dri dvd dvdr fam fastcgi ffmpeg firefox flac gif glut gnome gnutls gsm gstreamer gtk gzip hddtemp idn java java6 javascript jpeg jpeg2k kerberos lame lash ldap lm_sensors mad matroska mbox mikmod mime mmap mms mmx mng mod modules mp3 mp4 mpeg mplayer multilib musepack nptl nsplugin ogg openal openexr opengl pcre pdf perl php png posix quicktime raw rdesktop readline recode samba sasl savedconfig sdl sharedmem simplexml smp sound sse sse2 ssl subversion svg symlink syslog sysvipc tcl tcmalloc theora tiff tokenizer udev unicode usb vcd videos vim-syntax vnc vorbis wavpack wifi win32codecs wmf x264 xcb xcomposite xml xosd xsl xulrunner xv xvid zlib" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, USE_PYTHON lapmdb-hpl ~ #>> Somehow, I don't know how, other ebuilds require use flags in packages they need to be enabled. This is what should be done in the gato-1.1.2.ebuild: #PYTHON_USE_WITH="tk" should be uncommented (if that is how this requirement can be implemented). Thanks!
