Hi again, I forgot to name the only thing which is still giving me the same error after the change I proposed (with pre17, that is). # emerge linux-headers -p Invalid package name: sys-kernel/linux26-headers These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies !!! Problem in sys-kernel/linux-headers dependencies. !!! 73 In case you ask, yes I am using linux26-headers as I do with gcc-3.4.1, hence linux-headers is not merged in my system but linux26-headers is in its place. Emerging linux26-headers poses no problem whatsoever. -- Semper Fi, dude. Javier Marcet
