I got this one, which seems to tell me, that joeg-compat is also masked ??? solfire:/home/mccramer>emerge jpeg-compat Calculating dependencies... done! !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "media-libs/jpeg-compat" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - media-libs/jpeg-compat-6b (masked by: ~x86 keyword) For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
