18 | It depends on the error, don't forget, the error at the very bottom is
19 | just an emerge error, you need to go up till you find the actual error
20 | returned by the compilation. Don't forget, when updating packages, to use
21 | the D (capital d) option to make sure it catches *all* the libruaries etc.

28 |
29 | Nothing is blocked in Gentoo, there are no firewall scripts installed by
30 | default, even Iptables is not installed by default, os I'd suggest
31 | checking your set-up again.

35 |
36 | I suspect that the answer to that is when it has been tested and the
37 | ebuild has been created and fully tested for it, but I'm sure one of the
38 | devs can help you with that.
