Let me guess, you've emerged wget without ssl. wget is used by emerge to get files. If the URL begins with "https" (note the "s"), that means it requires ssl. I ran into this once myself with realplayer. You need to emerge wget with ssl. Either... 1) add "ssl" to your USE variable, and "emerge wget" 2) or if you don't want ssl built into everything else where it's optional, add the line... net-misc/wget ssl ...to your /etc/portage/package.use file. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- [email protected] mailing list
