Hi,

 may a RDQ (real dumb question (tm) ):

    When I do a 

 emerge -va =qt-4.1.2

 I get:

    solfire:/root>emerge -va "=qt-4.1.2"
    
    These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
    
    Calculating dependencies   
    !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=qt-4.1.2" have been masked.
    !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your 
request:
    - x11-libs/qt-4.1.2 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
    
    For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or 
    refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

 ...is there any wrong with my system or do I need to update
 something (I did an "eix-sync" minutes ago...)

 Thank you very much for your help in advance! :)

 Keep hacking!
