Hi there,
I've compiled the actual build-ix86-1.0_rc6-r7.tbz2 and I've got a problem
with the man pages.
If I try eg "man cp" on the shell man displays binaray rubbish. Does anyone
else has this problem?

Sorry you got caught with this problem. Remerge the latest sys-apps/man and
then do a:
cd /etc
ls ._cfg????_man.conf
(find the one with the biggest number in ????, in this example "2")
cp ._cfg0002_man.conf man.conf
rm ._cfg????_man.conf
Man pages should now work!
Best Regards,

no problem. But I have had the next problem with merging xfree-4.1.0-r2
directly after
an emerge system.
While compiling xfree I'll get an error while linking xc/programs/xgc with
-lfl. I don't have
an libfl.so on my system. After changing the line LEXLIB=-lfl to LEXLIB= in
the Makefile everything
compiles fine. And I could merge xfree-4.1.0-r2

I'll try it.

You should have a /usr/lib/libfl.a from the sys-devel/flex package. Not
sure why this didn't work for you; X compiled fine when I tested it in a
chroot.

Sorry, it was my fault. I have "build" defined in the make.conf file. If
build
was defined the libfl.a would be removed from the image. After changing the
make.conf
file I'll have an libfl.a

I just fixed a bug in the latest man ebuild, so do an emerge rsync
and repeat those steps again if it doesn't work.
