Change ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to "~amd64" in /etc/make.conf then emerge -avuND world Word of warning: I'm right in the middle of this exact step on ~x86 as we speak. 500M of downloads is not out of line, and I'm running into many missing libs as the process moves along. So there's a lot of ^C with "emerge --resume --skipfirst" and repeatedly emerging world till everything is done. Then an emerge --depclean followed by revdep-rebuild to make sure everything is consistent. None of this is unexpected, but I am finding it annoying to have my wm freeze then refuse to restart until a compile of three is done, then require ldconfig before it works again. If you use a terminal in X, it's a very good idea to run emerge in a screen session. If you lose the terminal, screen keeps the emerge going till you can reattach it when you get the terminal back. alan -- [email protected] mailing list
