You had to know this was going to demand my attention.

I'm betting anything that cairo wasn't merged with the X USE flag. I *always* do that. Simple fix: run "appear ---use -1 cairo pango" and make sure to select the X USE flag. (I think I put appear on your system. If I didn't, then tell me, and I'll tell you what to poke into your /etc/portage/package.use)

For enlightenment (intended), check your /var/db/pkg/*/enlightenment*/CONTENTS. That'll tell you where gentoo hid the thing.

Also, careful with that man trick -- that's something less has grown into. It used to be that man pages were piped through at least two formatting programs before they hit 'human readable'.

you know it's probably got something to do with the use flag. and damnit i'd planned on trying that fucking suggestion by now, but. well, i figured out that i had a gentoo 2008 minimal cd and i've been draging the intel 2.4 ghz [dubbed skelletor] legnth and bredth through the damn install process again, and since it's using the screen that the other box was on and my kvm is toasted, i'm suck for a while. i swear, however, i'm acutally understanding nearly 70% of it this time around. that 2007 fucking thing was having me update shit too much and it was a pain in the fucking @$$ to manage.

also, i think i've run into a few of those files that you're talking about that don't play well with 'less'. it's still pretty badass, i'm tired of using nano on everything and 9/10ths of the files i'm working with are too big to cat.
