But where do I add it in Portage's list ??
Can you explain how exactly you set UNIXMODE? For understanding, what OS/libc is this, and what is the Portage version you use? Do I understand correctly if I say that you set UNIXMODE in your environment, call portage and that you find that the compilation/installation doesn't seem to have UNIXMODE set? Wild idea, have you tried setting UNIXMODE in etc/make.conf? -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level -- [email protected] mailing list
