If by "section" you mean "package" then you are right. However, the first part of emerging a single package is to clean the temporary directory for that package (ebuild package.ebuild clean), removing any already compiled .o, .so, and .la files, along with anything else. To prevent the clean step you'll have to go back to using thing ebuild too staight: 'ebuild package.ebuild merge' will work fine. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
