Ordinarily, to recompile a package you can just give the command "emerge <package/name>". However kde-base/kde is a little different. All it does is depend on individual parts of kde as a convenience. If you look in /usr/portage/kde-base/ you'll see many packages.Kde depends on: kde-base/kdelibs kde-base/kdebase kde-base/kdeaddons kde-base/kdeadmin kde-base/kdeartwork kde-base/kdeedu kde-base/kdegames kde-base/kdegraphics kde-base/kdemultimedia kde-base/kdenetwork kde-base/kdepim kde-base/kdetoys kde-base/kdeutils The only other package in the kde-base group is arts, which is depended on by some of the above packages. This gives a few options on how to recompile. The most basic is "emerge -e kde-base/kde". This, however, won't only recompile kde but will recompile everything in your system that kde depends on, and anything those packages depend on. Usually, with this sort of command, most of the base system will be recompiled as well. To only recompile kde, including arts, you would need to emerge each of the packages listed above. This could be done one at a time or all together; i.e. "emerge kde-base/kdelibs; emerge kde-base/kdebase; emerge kde-base/kde-addons; ..." or "emerge kde-base/kdelibs kde-base/kdebase kde-base/kdeaddons ..." The latter command can be shortened somewhat and also made to include arts with the following: cd /usr/portage; emerge `find kde-base -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1` Note that they are `` and not '', shift-~ on a US keyboard. I hope this helped you to understand a little about how portage works! Regards, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
