16 It's actually telling you that it needs a version of gcc that is "greater than
17 or equal" to 3.0.4-r3.
18
19 So emerge gcc-3.1 and you should be right.

21 If you have installed gentoo from a 1.0/1.1/1.2 iso image then you are more than
22 likely using a gcc-2.95 profile, if this is the case then the gcc-3.1 ebuild may
23 well be masked or not available for installation using emerge. All is not lost,
24 you can install it like so:
25
26 ebuild /full/path/to/gcc-3.1.ebuild merge
27
28 Yes, you can have both gcc-2.95 & gcc-3.1 installed on the same machine and they
29 will play nicely together.
