That t$ is just cut/copy error, the correct version is: USE="-qt4 -hal -arts -berkdb -acl X gtk dvd alsa cdr cups apache2 ssl foomaticdb truetype kpathsea ppds mysql udev java tiff png usb scanner gimp gimpprint cgi fam nptl type1 opengl tetexspell consolkit dbus pam policykit jpeg lock session startup-notification thunar cleartype corefonts -systemd -DOPENSSL_NO_HEARTBEATS abi_x86_32" That what makes me confused it doesn't matter what I use, if I comment that line out and use: USE="bindist" This idiotic installation even complain about GENTOO_MIRROR entry: "/etc/portage/make.conf", line 29: Invalid variable name '-Wl,--hash-style' and line 29 is this: GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/gentoo-distfiles/ http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/gentoo-distfiles/ http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/ ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gentoo-mirror/ ftp://ftp.spline.inf.fu-berlin.de/mirrors/gentoo/ http://ftp.spline.inf.fu-berlin.de/mirrors/gentoo/"; I can figure it out what am I doing wrong. I've install so many system in the past but never had so many problems. I'll either have to try from the scratch or switch to a different distro :-( -- Thelma
