got this error need a lil help
Gentoo 2006.1

QA notice : USE Flag "kernel_linux" not in IUSE for kde-base/kdenetworking-3.5.2
* =x11-libs/qt* compiled with OpenGL support
* Please re-emerge =x11-libs/qt* with USE="opengl"

I have a clue whit this means.

It's been a while since I used gentoo, but I'll try my best.

Gentoo relies on so-called "use flags" that you set on your system, and these need to be set properly in order to emerge things correctly. You should have a look in the gentoo handbook under "USE flags", and try to find out which file you need to edit to include "opengl" as a USE flag.

I'll have a quick look myself to see if I can find it -- but I don't promise anything!

Good luck!

Found it!!

Go to this link and look at "2.b Using USE-flags". I think you need to follow the instructions in "Code Listing 2", to include

Code:

USE="opengl"

the file /etc/make.conf

But you should make sure to read the entire page, and make sure you understand things. It's important to double check my advice!!!

THeres the problem
I have read the handbook page on the Flag USE and dont understand it ., maybe its because ive been at this for 3 days i dont know. Remember im real new to linux so im having a time. if i could just get a desktop up and running on it i could copy and paste eror codes.
anyway thanks for the quick responce

No problem!

If you could enter the following command it might help me help you!

Code:

less /etc/make.conf

Tell me what the output of that command is, and we'll figure out what to do next.

**Wyldeman** · 10-13-2006

there are all kinds of stuff in there.

in the USE here waht it says

USE="php5 apache5 cli"

**smolloy** · 10-13-2006

Cool. Now you need to edit that to say USE="php5 apache5 cli opengl".

At the command line type "pico /etc/make.conf", and use the arrow-keys to get down to the line with USE=..., and edit it to include "opengl".

By the way, can you tell me what command you originally typed that resulted in the error?

**Wyldeman** · 10-13-2006

emerge -v kde

**Wyldeman** · 10-13-2006

ok
i edited it with nano and still i cant emerge the rest of kde

Once you've editted and saved the new version of /etc/make.conf (type less /etc/make.conf again to make sure that the USE= line has changed), then try to emerge kde again.

EDIT: Sorry, you're too fast for me!!!

What was the error this time?
