I recently went through an upgrade to gcc 4.1.1 on a Mac G4. Everything
recompiled OK except fluxbox 0.9.14-r2. In order to get it I had to choose an
unstable version (I went with 1.0_rc1, which compiled fine). Perhaps this is
nit-picking, but since I had to choose an unstable package even though I have a
stable package system otherwise, I thought it was worth noting. I suspect
bumping fluxbox up to a version that compiles with the new modular X would
probably be an easy fix. A fellow on the forums,
<http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-478127-highlight-fluxbox.html> claims
fluxbox 0.9.15 worked for him.
Below are the details on my system. Note I am using (the stable?) newest
profile for a G4. Thanks for all the great Gentoo work!
