Description Mark Knecht 2006-07-02 09:40:55 UTC
It seems that emerge googleearth is attempting to install NVidia graphics stuff on a machine that does not use NVidia graphics adapters:

lightning portage # emerge -pv --deep --update --newuse --tree googleearth

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-02 09:51:28 UTC
So stick app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlib into /etc/portage/package.keywords as you did w/ googleearth (or install ati-drivers) and it won't pull in nvidia. When unmasking ebuilds, you need to take care of the dependencies as well.

BTW, broken emul-linux-x86-xlib-7.0-r1 is Bug 136944, unrelated to this.
Comment 2 Mark Knecht 2006-07-02 10:09:43 UTC
Thanks Jakub - emerging ati-drivers seems to have worked fine. 

NOTE: I am not actually USING ati-drivers - I just have it emerged - so this seems a bit strange to have to add these things to the system when they do ot seem to be required to actually make googleearth work.

NOTE 2: I already had other emulation libraries installed. I guess the 7.0 version must support new stuff that folks feel it required? I wouldn't have known how to figure that out on my own. (I'm not a programmer)

None the less, thanks for the pointers. Very helpful.
Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-02 10:17:09 UTC
You don't need the ati-drivers, the ebuild can use nvidia-glx or the emul-libs as well. Unfortunately emul-linux-x86-xlib-7.0-r1 is missing files on mirrors right now, so I think ati-drivers is the best workaround until it's fixed.

Closing, thanks.
Comment 4 Mark Knecht 2006-07-02 10:24:11 UTC
Thanks. That clarifies things nicely.

Cheers
