Thank You For Your Time # emerge -av sci-electronics/geda-suite These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies / !!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been !!! pulled into the dependency graph: ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-scheme/guile-1.6.8', 'merge') pulled in by ('ebuild', '/', 'sci-electronics/gwave-20051222', 'merge') ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-scheme/guile-1.8.1-r3', 'merge') pulled in by ('ebuild', '/', 'sci-electronics/geda-20070216', 'merge') ('ebuild', '/', 'sci-libs/libgeda-20070216', 'merge') It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously. For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

I tried editing gwave-20051222 ebuild to allow guile-1.8.1-r3. I then emerged guile then gwave, but during gwave's ./configure it gave this error: configure: error: Your guile is too old; Guile-1.6 or later is required So I just did the workaround. putting ">dev-scheme/guile-1.6.8" in /etc/portage/package.mask The workaround works fine.
Thanks to both of you for the reports. I'll look into that as soon as my dev box decides it wants to cooperate again. Denis.
Unfortunately there's not much I can do. The only solution I know of would be to slot guile, but Marijn Schouten (the maintainer of guile in Gentoo) says it's not an option. The real solution would be to have a new version of gwave that supports guile-1.8, but I don't see that coming anytime soon. In the meantime, masking the newer versions of guile is a good workaround. Thanks for reporting this. Denis.
