Yes, but this is not the reason for the strange error. I downloaded manually with wget (compiled without ssl), without any error. I added ssl to USE flags and emerged wget again. Still exactly the same error on emergeing RealPlayer. Any other important pakages without ssl? bash-2.05b# emerge -pv --newuse world | grep ssl [ebuild UD] www-client/links-2.1_pre17 [2.1_pre17-r1] +X +directfb +fbcon +gpm -javascript +jpeg +png +ssl +svga +tiff +unicode 0 kB [ebuild R ] gnome-base/orbit-2.12.1 -debug +doc* +ssl 0 kB bash-2.05b# emerge -pv --newuse system | grep ssl bash-2.05b# None of which I think are causing this strange behavior. Re-emerged portage, still the same error when downloading RealPlayer. Changed download link in /usr/portage/media-video/realplayer/realplayer-10.0.4.ebuild from «https://» to «http://». Nearly the same error: bash-2.05b# emerge mplayer Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 2) media-video/realplayer-10.0.4 to / >>> Downloading >>> http://helixcommunity.org/download.php/1145/RealPlayer-10.0.4.750-20050401.i586.rpm The server returned location is syntatically wrong: https://helixcommunity.org/download.php/1145/RealPlayer-10.0.4.750-20050401.i586.rpm! !!! Couldn't download RealPlayer-10.0.4.750-20050401.i586.rpm. Aborting. Giving up! Copied the downloaded rpm to /usr/portage/distfiles, and emerged normally. Success. Thanks everyone for the help. Still troubles me why I was not able to install normally. Urs -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
