If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. This time xkeyboard-config was at the top of the -pv list and another try at emerge wvdial failed at the same spot. What to do? Guess I need a parser perl module. Or? perl-5.8.8-r1 is *already* installed according to emerge -pv perl. And one more question: Why does emerge wvdial insist on installing all this X stuff? More than 90 Megs! What does my serial port hardware care if I can look at an xterm or not? I tried USE="-X" but it just ignored me :^( -Maxim __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
