this is a fresh install of gentoo, no funny business. here's the last bit of output:

USE=X fixes this. 

[Comment 2 Stephen Tallowitz 2004-08-13 13:07:21 UTC]

Isn't there a way to implement "must have" use flags in ebuilds? I can remember seeing emerge complaining about a missing USE flag with an ebuild once (can't remember which one). In the case of this ebuild it would save a lot of hassle, trying to recompile and recompile after looking at the wrong bug reports.
Same people trying to build gimp but not having the "X" use-flag in make.conf may have valid reasons for doing so.
BTW: Bug 46851 is also related to this bug here.

[Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) 2004-08-31 07:28:37 UTC]

i disabled the X use flag btw, there is an incorrect reference to -lX11 somewhere in the gimp make stuff which causes these problem. In theory it can work if someone fixes up the makefiles.
