Albert, Thanks for your reply.
My original intention was to use the ebuild to satisfy dependencies and this did, in fact work. I was able to install the subversion installation of Lazarus without too many problems, apart from Lazarus being unable to find the FPC sources.

ERROR: dev-lang/lazarus-0.9.12 failed. Set the 'source' USE flag for FPC. You can set this globaly in /etc/make.conf or esp. for FPC by: echo "dev-lang/fpc source" >> /etc/portage/package.use This USE flag indicates for packages, that they shall install the source. (Read the Gentoo Handbook. USE flags are one of the base technics of Portage and this technic should be one of the reasons for using Gentoo.) -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
