Thanks for your advice which works. I am now installing Mozilla_thunderbird, having no idea how long to take. Just leave the PC running.
on /etc/make.conf under "Advanced Masking" I found a line # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch"
Whether to uncomment it will install all arch including those unstable/testing packages, such as ~ppc, etc. Would unstable/testing packages be available on Gentoo website?
In previous thread "Re: [gentoo-user] (Successful)Installing KDE and Xfree problem"
I mentioned that I could not find the line for "PORT_LOGDIR." only #PORTDIR="/usr/portage"
Can I add following line to /etc/make.conf
PORT_LOGDIR="/var/log/portage"
to save emerge log file to this directtory. I already have the directory /var/log/portage created
Thanks

Hi all folks,
I encounted problem in installing Mozilla-Thunderbird.

Calculating dependencies
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "mozilla-thunderbird" have been masked.
!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.
# emerge search thunderbird Searching... [ Results for search key : thunderbird ] [ Applications found : 1 ]

Kindly advise whether I need to issue following command;
# mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash # env-update Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... # source /etc/profile
According to my recollection in installing 'mc' (midnight commander) and 'epm' previously, I did issue the above commands
OR whether it was caused by insufficient dependencies. How to find out which dependencies are in need?
Kindly advice.
Thanks in advance.
