Reread the message :) > (sys-boot/grub-0.97-r16:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) It wants to install -0.97-r16 > (sys-boot/grub-static-0.97-r12:0/0::gentoo, installed) pulled in by It has: static-0.97-r12 In other words, you can't install the static and the non-static installed simultaneously :) -- Joost
