Well, other than if an upgrade comes through emerge --update world would try to overwrite what you install. Otherwise portage will think it's in there. > I have one more dumb question.

LDFLAGS typically come in the -llib and -Lpath variety and are used to ensure that additional libraries and paths are included in the link phase. You typically won't need to add these (which is probably why there is little if any reference in the gentoo doc). Obviously there are more uses for LDFLAGS, but those above are used the most. If you do need them you can set up your environment variables before doing the make process. You can also use them on the command line ala "LDFLAGS=-llib make", etc. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
