Hi Rumen, thanks, the patch was supposed to be applied to a previous version of the ebuild; by masking and emerging the correct version it worked. Sorry for top-posting (I should have read the policy ;P ) Bo, thanks to you too. Now please, stop it, is it possible that a such simple post gives so much feedback!!? No, kidding, thanks again, it's nice to get in contact with you all. Ciao, Leo __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
