That will teach me to only believe the man page, it makes no mention of this, only that it lists the contents of a package :( -- Neil Bothwick IRQs?

It is deprecated, which is why it is no longer in the path. My recomendation is to create a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin (which is in the default path) ln -s /usr/lib/gentoolkit/bin/qpkg /usr/local/bin/qpkg Answering your question about paths, the place to put it would be /root/.bashrc export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/gentoolkit/bin Regards, Paul -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I just copy it to /usr/local/bin. Since /usr/local/bin/qpkg is not owned by gentoolkit, it won't be touched by portage. An update to gentoolkit will reinstall qpkg in the original location, but it will be the same version as qpkg is deprecated. -- Neil Bothwick C Error #011: First C Program, huh? signature.asc Description: PGP signature
