Re: [gentoo-alt] Re: emerge -u system not working

[Michael Yang]

one further note:  this same x86 system needed the same "-pam" and
also "-gdbm" added to the $EPREFIX/etc/make.conf USE flags later on
following emerge -u system.  Otherwise, perl-5.8.8-r5 complained about
ndbm.h missing (see: gentoo bug 65055 at
http://bugs.gentoo.org/65055).  thanks again.
