I am using Gentoo 64bit.\r\nI got it all working now after installing some of the listed install prerequisites. Now I am curious as I HAVE got it working fine. Are those install prerequisites still needed or is it that they are just necessary to compile phase? Aka, are those  install prerequisites safe to remove?\r\nSorry if this is the wrong place to ask or this is a so stupid question."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/i-rinat/freshplayerplugin/issues/comments/175977670","html_url":"https://github.com/i-rinat/freshplayerplugin/issues/303#issuecomment-175977670","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/i-rinat/freshplayerplugin/issues/303","id":175977670,"user":{"login":"JackieMium","id":12944832,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/12944832?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/JackieMium","html_url":"https://github.com/JackieMium","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JackieMium/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JackieMium/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JackieMium/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JackieMium/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JackieMium/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JackieMium/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JackieMium/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JackieMium/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/JackieMium/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-01-28T05:00:30Z","updated_at":"2016-01-28T05:00:30Z","body":"@bootkiller Yes, Gentoo uses Portage to manager PKGs and the way you mentioned is the proper one to  remove those PKGs. However, the 6 PKGs I mentioned above were installed using `emerge --oneshot PKG`and the `--oneshot` option is to avoid those PKGs from adding to the `world` list. Because adding everything you need into the `world` list is not the good way for Portage to manage the system and all its PKGs, Portage will have to take a long time to calculate dependencies by doing that. The best way is to add _freshplayerplugin_ (in this example) in the world list and this will automatically pulls in all its dependencies(ie the 6 PKGs here). However, the problem here is that you cannot add _freshplayerplugin_ to your world list. "}}
