you might also want to try man emerge most commands on your system will have a manpage, and they will probably give you helpful hints as to how they function. you can also do it with any other command: man ls man gcc man ldd man man ... Hope that helps, Marco -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org

1.2.1 exactly, with a keyword of '~x86'. You can use '>=' instead of '=', which means any version equal or greater than 1.2.1. the two following lines were the two dependencies i found by trying 'emerge -uD subversion'. once 1.3 or any version higher than 1.2.1 becomes stable (marked 'x86'), it will be considered by portage as well and will be merged.
