Please correct. > aragorn root # It means that some packages which are required by sun-j2re are "masked". ebuilds that, for whatever reason, aren't ready for general consumption yet are masked so that everyone who does an "emerge -u world" doesn't end up with an unstable system. If you want to install it anyway, you have to comment out the part of /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask that corresponds to sun-j2jre and it's dependencies. BTW, I tried installing sun's jre from a tar.gz that i got from sun's site and it didn't work. I never bothered to look into why, but i suspect that it had something to do with gcc 3.2.1. Maybe someone else can elaborate on this some more.. KIRT KIRT -- Perception != Reality http://csplinux.saultc.on.ca/~kbakalar/index.htm -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
