Hi all,

I'm not an expert of gentoo at all, but I've never had compilation problems up to now
(~ 1 year working), so I was very surpised today...
I tryed to emerge mozilla 1.6, it requested several other updating and
new emerging, among them xfree, gtk+, etc.
The compilation stops with the following error message.
 

I just compiled it successfully (using current non-masked packages). 
"etcat -u mozilla-1.6" says:

"emerge -up mozilla" says mozilla and direct dependencies are up to date.

Maybe this helps... :-|

Plus, now something seems to be happened to emerge, since when I try to emerge centain 
packages it gives me errors like:

snoopy root # emerge -pv xterm

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies   
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "xterm" have been masked.

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.

 

This is no different from what I get. It seems all versions of xterm are 
currently masked.

the error appear not for all packages...

What am Isupposed to "correct"?

Any help would be VERY appreciated.
thanks,
Alberto
