Missing keyword

Post #1 of 3 (1612 views)

I have been using gentoo for two weeks now, and I am in heaven! Despite
all the negative things I have read about it on the net, IMHO gentoo is
leaps and bounds ahead of Ubuntu and even debian.

Due to some bad media I had to become a lot more proficient in linux to
even install this, so that may be a factor too.

There's only a few things that I still have trouble with. One being the
clock issue that I posted to earlier, another is in PCSX giving me some
error that I can't find a solution to in all my googling for it, For
some reason I emerged MOL and there was no molvconfig created, so I am
having trouble there. When I emerged gnome 2.10, it looks like I still
have some parts of 2.8 floating around. (Desktop > SETTINGS > Desktop
still brings up the old Control Center, and Theme Selector bring one up
that does nothing)

But the actual reason for this post. What is a missing keyword? When I
try to emerge pcsx2 I get "(masked by: missing keyword)" This has
really thrown me through a loop and any help would be appreciated as always.

Thanks in advance

The current baselayout stores the clock settings in
/etc/conf.d/clock. Probably you have to upgrade. And check
if /etc/localtime is set properly.

You want to enable the fbcon use-flag. When you emerge mol,
it's also printed in the very beginning.

I guess, your system isn't updated fully.

That means, nobody of the ppc-crew has ever tested that
ebuild and added a ppc-keyword to it. Currently it's x86.
You can emerge it by adding the following line to your
/etc/portage/package.keywords:
games-emulation/pcsx2 x86

Also take a look into

You can check the versions of all your Gnome stuff at once by running "qpkg
-I -v gnome". (In case you're reading this in Arial or something, that's a
capital Eye, not a lowercase Ell.) If you don't have qpkg yet, emerge
gentoolkit.

If it actually works (the package looks pretty Intel-specific to me) be sure
to post a bug or something letting the dev team know. :)

Yep, that's a good section to read, especially if you want to do stuff like
install little pieces of KDE, or get the latest gnumeric but not break
everything else. package.keywords can prevent you from having to customize
an ebuild just to try installing something.

Good luck,
