I want w3m with support for ASCII-art images using libcaca.

Installation

Check USE flags:

gif imlib jpeg ncurses png 
# emerge w3m libcaca

Configuration

w3m is set up to use the display command. The easy way to fix this is to symlink the display command to cacaview:

# ln -s /usr/bin/cacaview /usr/bin/display

If you do have ImageMagick installed, but you still want to use cacaview instead, you could do this:

# mkdir -p /home/username/bin
# ln -s /usr/bin/cacaview /home/username/bin/display

- and make sure that /home/username/bin is last in your path in options:
