emerge -fDuN @world will both check/resolve dependencies as well as insure that all files required to do the build are downloaded. I typically run this command prior to emerging anything as I dislike coming back and hour later and finding the emerge didn't finish because a file either couldn't be downloaded or its manifest didn't check out. Just an alternative way to do things. HTH, Mark
