Hi,

Iam new to gentoo.  A friends uses it and suggested I get it a try.  I am 
very new to gentoo so any help or pointers towards doc would be great.  I 
have tried to install postfix with  emerge postfix and get the following 
error.

Calculating dependencies ...done!

!!! Error: the mail-mta/ssmtp package conflicts with another package.
!!!        both can't be installed on the same system together.
!!!        Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.

with emerge --pretend postfix I get the following

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B     ] mail-mta/ssmtp (is blocking mail-mta/postfix-2.2.5)
[ebuild  N    ] dev-libs/libpcre-6.3
[ebuild  N    ] mail-mta/postfix-2.2.5

So does this mean I have to install dev-libs/libpcre-6.3?

Thanks for your help.
