The following snippet from the latest gdk-pixbuf (r7) and evolution (1.0.3-r2) ebuilds doesn't work for me. XDISPLAY=$(i=0; while [ -f /tmp/.X${i}-lock ] ; do i=$((${i}+1)); done; echo ${i}) /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :${XDISPLAY} >& /dev/null & DISPLAY=:${XDISPLAY} emake || DISPLAY=:${XDISPLAY} make || die kill $(cat /tmp/.X${XDISPLAY}-lock) It finds a socket, but you can't connect (here an excerpt from trying this interactively): ------------ boresch@lipari boresch $ Xvfb :4 & [1] 22298 boresch@lipari boresch $ ls -a /tmp/ . .xf86config2916 evolution-1000-3178 sandboxpids.tmp ..

Check the DISPLAY environment variable or use `-d'. Also use the `xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit connections from your machine. ------------------- Same if I do this as root. So, I can start Xvfb, but I can't connect to it :-( My XFree is 4.2 (the r8 ebuild). I am not aware of running any special security precautions... Further, I am building while in X -- maybe this has anything to do with it ... (This is the first gdk-pixbuf/evolution ebuild I have problems with) Stefan PS: No version field for 1.0 yet :-) ?
