Here is the error you get if you don't have any X emerged and do USE=X emerge exim : gcc -o em_StripChart.o -c -O3 -march=pentium3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr -falign-functions=4 -fprefetch-loop-arrays -I. -I../exim_monitor -I/usr/X11R6/include \ ../exim_monitor/`echo em_StripChart.o | sed 's/o$/c/'` ../exim_monitor/em_StripChart.c:42:28: X11/IntrinsicP.h: No such file or directory ../exim_monitor/em_StripChart.c:43:28: X11/StringDefs.h: No such file or directory ../exim_monitor/em_StripChart.c:44:29: X11/Xaw/XawInit.h: No such file or directory ../exim_monitor/em_StripChart.c:45:32: X11/Xaw/StripCharP.h: No such file or directory ../exim_monitor/em_StripChart.c:46:24: X11/Xfuncs.h: No such file or directory ../exim_monitor/em_StripChart.c:54: error: syntax error before "resources" <useless warnings and errors> {standard input}:96: Error: symbol `ret_val' is already defined make[1]: *** [em_StripChart.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/exim-4.34-r1/work/exim-4.34/build-exim-gentoo' make: *** [go] Error 2 !!! ERROR: mail-mta/exim-4.34-r1 failed. Btw, even if it should depend on X, I don't want it to !! Maybe a use flag like the one vim use (vim-with-x) would be better. The point is, for grp install, X will be emerged when just emerging exim and I don't really want to see :)
