Continue as necessary. Indeed by emerge unmerge the old X the blocking message also went away. And the new many X11 subpackages are being pulled in. A related issue. My current gcc version is 3.3.6 and the new profile is pulling an update [ebuild U ] sys-devel/gcc-3.3.6-r1 [3.3.6] USE="doc%* fortran nls (-altivec) -bootstrap -boundschecking -build -gcj -gtk* (-hardened) -ip28 -ip32r10k% (-multilib) -multislot (-n32) (-n64) -nocxx -nopie -nossp -objc -test% -vanilla (-static%)" 47 kB and also the new 4.1. [ebuild NS ] sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1-r3 USE="doc fortran nls (-altivec) -bootstrap -build -gcj -gtk (-hardened) -ip28 -ip32r10k -mudflap (-multilib) -multislot (-n32) (-n64) -nocxx -objc -objc++ -objc-gc -test -vanilla" 38,326 kB I am worried about some of the flags. Notably, -nocxx. The description of this flag in /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc nocxx - Disable support for C++ (DON'T USE THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING) -nocxx is been set by the 2006.1 profile; I guess. Any inputs as far as what flags to change? Also is gcc-4.1 in a pretty good shape to use? Thanks, -- Valmor > > > -- > Albert W.
