Your problem is different but has been covered in previous threads, as well as the news item. You could add ABI_X86=3D"32 64" to make.conf, but that won't fit in with your desire for minimalism. So you need to run emerge with --autounmask-write then run etc-update or equivalent to apply the changes to package.use. --=20 Neil Bothwick If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation? --Sig_/NPqXaEhHD6rGCeWMc3Oi749 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlVmJHgACgkQum4al0N1GQN1fQCgyhKiW0M2/77vmOx28aT8vQ4Z Ig8AoNO/oWl9pgTRDEx00y6rrD+TFI+W =gy+A -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/NPqXaEhHD6rGCeWMc3Oi749--
