maybe it's because accept-keywords.. there's a thing .. in your /etc/make.conf you can specify a flag called ACCEPT_KEYWORDS. if you have an intel-compatible cpu ( athlon, pentium ect ), then by default it's set to: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" i have: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86". that means you want the devel/unstable packages... but i don't recommend you to do that. instead you can specify directly the ebuild: emerge /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.2.99.902.ebuild try that . gabor -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
