Have you done an 'emerge sync' recently to see if it is fixed? If so, this is most likely not the 'correct' way to do this, but you can edit the Manifest file... cd to /usr/portage/media-libs/libsdl/ run: # md5sum libsdl-1.2.8-r1.ebuild dc422953436a92690bd6f7b0f0c2d4d5 libsdl-1.2.8-r1.ebuild # this is just sample # ls -l libsdl-1.2.8-r1.ebuild -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4550 Apr 24 18:35 libsdl-1.2.8-r1.ebuild Now you have the md5sum and size of your edited ebuild script... Now edit 'Manifest'. Find the line with libsdl-1.2.8-r1.ebuild, and change the md5sum and size (the number at the end of the line) to your new values. Caveat: like I said, this is probably not the best way to do this, you will probably want to wait for advice from someone more knowlegable than me ;) However, this is what I do when I want to change the source code in a distfile but install using emerge... -d -- darren kirby :: Part of the problem since 1976 :: http://badcomputer.org "...the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected..." - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972
