Hi all

I have to emerge gcc-4.1.2 to use with CUDA. However, I receive the following message.

!!! 'gcc-4.1.2' is not a valid package atom.
!!! Please check ebuild(5) for full details.

What should I do to avoid of this problem?

Try:

  emerge --oneshot =gcc-4.1.2

(that is, you need an "=" in front.)

Or simply just:

  emerge --oneshot gcc

if you're not using an ~arch ("testing") GCC.
