• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2004-09-30 10:05:17 UTC]

gdm fails on a fresh install with:
should be easy to resolve by adding a alsa-lib dependency

This seems like a local problem where alsa has been linked against and then removed.

I did not even install it before, it was a fresh install. Now with alsa installed I get another error:

this is not a fresh install, don't depclean or whatever you did if you don't know what you're doing.
