Well, I don't have fortran use enabled mail-proxy ~ # euse -i fortran global use flags (searching: fortran) ************************************************************ [- ] fortran - Adds support for fortran (formerly f77) local use flags (searching: fortran) ************************************************************ no matching entries found However, kde-base/kde-meta-4.6.4 pulls in kde-base/kdeedu-meta-4.6.4 which pulls in kde-base/kantor which pulls in dev-lang/R (since my profile has the R use flag enabled) which pulls in virtual/blas which pulls in sci-libs/blas-reference-20070226 which then craps out since I don't have the fortran use flag enabled.
