I wonder why this is a required package
* dev-tex/feynmf
Latest version available: 1.08-r3
Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
Size of files: 328 kB

Feynman diagrams

or even this
* dev-tex/latex-beamer
Latest version available: 3.07
Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]

Description: LaTeX class for creating presentations using a
video projector.

a well designed modular approach should not require these for basic
functionality.
IMO: `emerge -C dev-texlive/texlive-fontsextra dev-texlive/texlive-latex
dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra && emerge texlive-2008` will fix your
problems - whilst keeping your *world file* lean.

Will do. Thanks for the inputs.
