I took a quick look in the cvs tree and found that there is no digest
file in the files dir of the ORBit
package for version 0.5.7 but there is one for 0.5.7-r1. It's better to
use the lates revision (r1).
But you can build missing digest with "ebuild [packagename] digest".
The digests fets checked before a package gets unpacked, that's why I
thought you use emerge and it is the
next packages digest thats missing.

I'm wondering. Normaly siag requires openmotif. Siag is a small office
suit, if you need an simple editor for
X you can try nedit (app-editors).
