I have googleearth installed here and it doesn't get along well with portage and it's digest checking. Of course, it doesn't like my dial-up either. LOL >>From what I understand Google doesn't allow Gentoo to mirror the souce tarball. After you install it and sync later on, if Google has changed something, you get a digest error. It will delete the tarball from distfiles too. I'm on dial-up and that sort of ticks me off, The way I got around it is to manually delete it from my world file. That way it doesn't check the digest. Some guru may have a better way to do this but this is what I have ran into with googleearth. May want to check farther before you run into the same thing I did. Hope that helps, and makes sense. Sometimes I don't. LOL Dale :-) :-) :-) -- www.myspace.com/dalek1967 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
