solfire:/home/mccramer>emerge jpeg-compat
Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "media-libs/jpeg-compat" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- media-libs/jpeg-compat-6b (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
