Right now that particular ebuild won't even install because it assumes .so and linux. First I want to solve the problem of eselect not listing stuff that is properly installed. In particular gsl and blas-reference are installed properly, so are their particular alternatives. Yet "eselect cblas list" and "eselect blas list" return nothing. I think I have an idea of where the problem is. I just need a bit of time to investigate. Francois
