OMG! 'links' pulls in _92_ package dependencies?! That's silly.
What confuses me even more now, is that AFAIK, "links" is (according to the
man page) "lynx-like alternative character mode WWW browser", so why then
all the x11 dependencies and such. Shouldn't this thing, by definition, just
work in console mode without all that extra crap?
I "solved" this by adding this to /etc/portage/package.use:
www-client/links -X -directfb -fbcon gpm -javascript -jpeg -livecd -png -sdl
ssl -svga -tiff -unicode
But what seems silly to me is that why does this have jpeg, png, tiff
support if it's in console mode? Will "links" actually SHOW an image? I've
NEVER seen it do that (on any other linux box, even with X support)
You probably didn't add -X and so on to your make.conf. And yes, links2
can show images when compiled against this and that.
That's what it's doing on my machine, and it works almost as well as dillo.
