Hi, It's possible with emerge ( emerge -s "%^R$" ) , but I recommend to install eix, then use eix-sync instead of emerge --sync. Eix is a lot faster ! With eix you can search for the exact match with the -e option : # eix -e R * dev-lang/R Available versions: 2.7.1 2.7.2 (~)2.8.1 {X bash-completion cairo debug doc java jpeg lapack minimal nls png readline tk} Homepage: http://www.r-project.org/ Description: Language and environment for statistical computing and graphics or you can search the Homepage with "eix -H r-project" regards, Boris > -- $ ruby -e'puts " .:@BFegiklnorst".unpack("x4ax7aaX6ax5aX15ax4aax6aaX7ax2 \ aX5aX8axaX3ax8aX4ax6aX3aX6ax3ax3aX9ax4ax2aX9axaX6ax3aX2ax4 \ ax3aX4aXaX12ax10aaX7a").join'
