Holly, Thanks for the usual helpful effort. Maybe you can tell me how one controlls what ebuild is used. For example: ls /usr/portage/dev-db/mysql ChangeLog mysql-4.0.25-r2.ebuild mysql-5.0.15.ebuild Manifest mysql-4.0.26.ebuild mysql-5.0.16-r1.ebuild files mysql-4.1.14.ebuild mysql-5.0.16-r30.ebuild metadata.xml mysql-4.1.15-r30.ebuild mysql-3.23.58-r1.ebuild mysql-4.1.15.ebuild I was able to to at least start mysql-5.0.15.ebuild, how would I select it out of the others thru emerge? I foolishly ran the last -u world with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 and have since set that globally. So I'm now bleeding edge and it appears that it would take some doing to undo that at this point so thought I'd go with it for a while and see if I could get ontop of it. I know about using the actual path and that is how I'm installing it as I write but one always gets those troublesome messages about installing by path being broken.... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
