Add --tree to the above emerge command. > I checked the ebuild of virtual/libstdc++ and it gives me an rdepends > of = gcc-3.3.* The full depend is RDEPEND="|| ( =sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-3.3* =sys-devel/gcc-3.3* )" This means either =sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-3.3* or =sys-devel/gcc-3.3*. If neither is installed the first listed will be used. this indicates that you already have gcc-3.3* installed. If you have nothing that needs it (very few packages fail to compile on 4.1 now), you can unmerge gcc-3.3 and the next emerge world will install sys-libs/libstdc++ instead. equery list gcc will show you exactly which gcc packages you have installed. -- Neil Bothwick Top Oxymorons Number 18: Taped live
