Since this followed my note I presume it was directed at me. This is not the sort of problem I was intending to point out. I am, in fact, not sure that this is enough to really get your machine to implement correct sse/sse2/etc. operation as it seems that possibly flags also need to be added to make.conf's compiler directives to tell the compiler to actually do things. (I.e. - what good is turning on sse2 in an emerge flag group if the compiler doesn't turn it on in the commands to the compiler?) I have yet to find a *good* Description of how to really handle this stuff so I've added the flags my processor supports to my USE description. I'm not a programmer so I am unable to understand the info written for IT/CSE folks. What I actually meant was adding a flag like 'mozilla' to blackdown-jdk to ensure I could get java support when I run Firefox, etc. > > on your machine, and post the output on this list.
