Hi Matthias, Some more stuff .... I worked out how to get to the next step. Now when I run emerge vdrplugin-softdevice I get the following errors. mmc root # emerge vdrplugin-softdevice Calculating dependencies - !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "media-video/vidix-cvs" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - media-video/vidix-cvs-0.0.1 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook. !!! (dependency required by "media-video/vdrplugin-softdevice-0.1.0- r1" [ebuild]) ***** Note to get to the next step I added media-video/vidix-cvs ~x86 and media-video/vdrplugin-softdevice ~x86 to /etc/portage/packages. ****** mmc root # vim /etc/portage/package.keywords mmc root # emerge vdrplugin-softdevice Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 2) media-video/vidix-cvs-0.0.1 to / >>> md5 files ;-) ChangeLog >>> md5 files ;-) vidix-cvs-0.0.1.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-vidix-cvs-0.0.1 >>> Unpacking source... * Fetching CVS module vidix into /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src ... * Running cvs -d ":pserver:anonymous:@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/vidix" login Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:2401/cvsroot/vidix * Running cvs -d ":pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/vidix" update -dP vidix cvs update: Updating vidix cvs update: Updating vidix/libdha cvs update: Updating vidix/libdha/bin cvs update: Updating vidix/libdha/kernelhelper cvs update: Updating vidix/libdha/oth cvs update: Updating vidix/libdha/sysdep cvs update: Updating vidix/vidix cvs update: Updating vidix/vidix/drivers * Copying vidix from /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src ... * CVS module vidix is now in /var/tmp/portage/vidix-cvs-0.0.1/work !!!

If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. Any tips on what I do next? Thanks for your help.
