I should.  I keep all versions masked except the ones I have installed and I add those versions to the world file, that way --depclean and other stuff, won't remove or complain so much about it.  Just emerge -n --select y =.  Don't forget the equal sign when including the version.  Hope one or more of those things help.  Dale :-)  :-)  P.

ng a error sometimes isn't much help.  :/  I might add, the errors listed above didn't stop the compile until close to the end.  It did seem to ignore them since it compiled a good while afterwards.  I'm including in case those errors lead to the failure later on.  They could be nothing or may be a clue.  Open to ideas.  Dale :-)  :-)
