emerge --info needed

[Comment 2 Juergen Rose 2005-05-29 07:18:43 UTC]

I was able to remove the compilation problem by adding "-mmx" to 
"media-gfx/gimp gimpprint cups -mmx" in /etc/portage/package.use.

Sorry, that I forget to add "emerge --info". It is:

You also forgot to reopen... 

[Comment 4 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2005-05-29 12:52:47 UTC]

you are using hardened (gcc-3.4.3-20050110-hardened) and do not have the
hardened use flag set.

as you can see in the ebuild:
    if use hardened; then
        ewarn "hardened use flag suppressing mmx use flag"
        HARDENED_SUPPRESS_MMX="--disable-mmx"

it will disable mmx for you if you have hardened in your use flags.

Adding hardened to your use flags will fix your problem.
