There is a GCC upgrade guide in the gentoo pages. It starts with upgrading the toolchain. Then doing an 'emerge -e @world'. If you want to make sure everything is installed using that. This would be the safest method. Specifying all these packages manually makes the dependency checks for portage difficult. Even RPM based distros have left rpm-hell behind since yum got usable. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
