Since I know I already have software to manage that, I didn't want to emerge that failed one since it could clash with what I already have installed. That said, portage didn't show it as a blocker or anything. I likely could have emerged it, then unmerged it and not cause a problem. I was just to chicken to do it is all.=20 In my search, I was searching for static-dev so it would only show matches to that and not the other packages in sys-fs. If I had searched for sys-fs/* then it would have shown what was installed in that category= =2E=20 The biggest thing, I just didn't want to screw something up and google wasn't returning anything when I searched. No clue why it didn't tho.=20 It's rare that google shows no matches. It usually finds something even if it is off the mark a bit.=20 Dale :-) :-)=20
