As root do an


 # emerge sync
 # emerge gaim -pv
check the output then
 # emerge gaim

0.74 is not yet 'latest portage recommended' version.


Here what emerge search gaim says on my system:
*  net-im/gaim
      Latest version available: 0.72-r1
      Latest version installed: 0.74-r1
      Size of downloaded files: 3,400 kB
      Homepage:    http://gaim.sourceforge.net/
      Description: GTK Instant Messenger client

I have installed 0.74-r1 as:

bash-2.05b$ emerge /usr/portage/net-im/gaim/gaim-0.74-r1.ebuild

there are 2 more (?) alternate syntax to do the same thing, but I feel myself
most comfortable by giving the full name of ebuild to the emerge.
