Try (re)installing gettext. The rest happens because rpm is missing and I think nividia's drivers are packaged as an rpm. I don't know why fedora-core is popping up. perhaps you need to set LINUX_BASE=gentoo in make.conf. I think that is the correct syntax but man make.conf should have the right syntax. I think for whatever reason rpm has something to do with the fedora-core base source. I'm not positive but building it in t

As long as your going from a 6.x base it will continue on Rel_6.x. If you started with 5.x it will continue to update 5.x. Ports will always update to the latest and greatest as it uses a different tag. I find this very easy, I'm also afraid of change. Though portsnap is more secure because it uses encryption and I've heard signs the updates.

Unless your stuck using that particular dist of linux I would try to gentoo stage3 base. a chroot to the /compat/linux and you can use their portage system to install and update linux apps fairly easy. The reason I got away from linux in the first place was the nightmare of updating it, but at least Gentoo uses a "ports" system that makes it less of a nightmare. Of course I am biased because I do run Gentoo on my laptop and would want the emulation base to be compatible if I package up native Gentoo apps to my FreeBSD system. -brian About that nvidia-thing here's the messages: libtool cannot find the library /usr/local/lib/libintl.la or undhandled argument in /usr/local/libintl.la gmake[2]:***[dump] Error 1 gmak[2]:leaving director /usr/ports/archivers/rpm/work/rpm-3.0.6/tools gmake[2]:[all-recursive]-Error 1 gmake[1]leaving director /usr/ports/archivers/work/rpm-3.0.6 gmake *** [all-recursive-am- Error 2 Error code 2 Stop in /usr/ports/archivers/rpm Errror code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/archivers/rpm Error code 1 ---snip stop in /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-fc4 /* Why is it having issues with this? */ Stop in /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver. command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portinstall542.0 make reinstall **Fix the installation problem and try again ***Listing failed packages(*skiped/ !FAILED) !xll/driver(install error) packages processed: 0 - Stay in the know.
