Got compiling errors when running 'emerge proftpd' since I was missing libpcap and got: -snip- i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -Llib -o ftpcount src/ftpcount.o src/pool.o src/log.o src/utils.o -lsupp -lcrypt -lpam -Lcontrib/libcap -lcap /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lcap collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [ftpcount] Error 1 -snip- After 'emerge net-libs/libpcap' proftpd emerged just fin. Perhaps you should set up dependency for the libpcap package? My USE-variable in /etc/make.conf is set to: USE="-kde -gnome -nls avi cups gtk jpeg matrox mozilla ncurses oggvorbis opengl oss sdl ssl svga xml xml2 zlib" I'm a new at gentoo so if this was bad bugreport please don't flame me, just tell me what I did wrong and I'll try to better myself in future reports. Best regards /Daniel.
