Description Jens Geiregat 2005-02-17 11:39:18 UTC
When I start gftp I get no graphical interface. All I get is an ftp> prompt:
--------
gFTP 2.0.18, Copyright (C) 1998-2003 Brian Masney <masneyb@gftp.org>. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about this program,

This is exactly the same interface as when I execute the command 'gftp-text'. My USE flags: -gtk +gtk2 +nls +ssl, re-emerging gftp did not help.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =net-ftp/gftp-2.0.18-r1
2. execute gftp

Actual Results:  
I only get a text-based interface.

Expected Results:  
I should get a graphical, gtk based interface

yes. Thats exactly correct.

You state you do not want gtk+ support built in.  So therefore it doesn't build the gtk+ GUI to gftp, only the curses one.


enable +gtk to get a gui.  -gtk means that in all cases where gtk is optional, it is removed.
