You have to download a file manually and put it in $DISTDIR. The error message will tell you how to do this. This is usually because you have to agree to some licence conditions v=before you can download the file. > My first question is why is portage trying to emerge this package as I > do not have it installed in the first place ( I had it once a while > ago, then it was unmerged) and my second is how tell portage not to > emerge the package. What does emerge -tuv world tell you? -t will show what package is pulling it in? It is probably a dependency of something else you have installed, in which case you have three possible choices Install realplayer. Uninstall the dependent packages. Reinstall the dependent package with different USE flags, so that it no longer depends on realplayer. emerge -tuv world will help you decide the best solution. -- Neil Bothwick Honk if you love peace and quiet.
