Gentoo Compile Problem

Tue, 4 Mar 2003 22:22:17 -0800 (PST)

With gentoo I have noticed one thing.. 

the devs break ebuilds alot. :)

When i doubt always...

source /etc/profile
env-updated
emerge rsync

then try to reemerge whatever was the problem.

Also, irc.freenode.net  #gentoo and #gentoo-sparc (sparc contains the 
peole with real clue however..)
