Gaim-0.66-r3 is the latest stable release. If you feel you "must
have" the latest and greatest, there are a couple of ways to get it.
Gaim-gaim-0.68 is masked as unstable. this can be for several
reasons. Either it is a brand new ebuild that isn't proven stable on
your architecture or the developers want some daring soles to test it
before commiting it to "stable". While it isn't recommended for a
relative "newbie" to merge masked packages, most, including myself
are tempted to throw caution to the wind in favor of having the
latest version of everything.
If you're the adventurous type and want to risk breaking a lot of
stuff, as root do:
# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -p gaim
The -p flag is for "pretend. It will show what, if anything else will
be emerged with gaim. If you are ready to accept what is about to
happen, repeat the command without the "-p" good luck
