10 It looks like cl-ppcre depends on virtual/commonlisp which is provided
11 by one of these:
12
13 RDEPEND="|| ( dev-lisp/sbcl
14 dev-lisp/clisp
15 dev-lisp/clozurecl
16 dev-lisp/cmucl
17 dev-lisp/ecls
18 dev-lisp/openmcl )"
19
20 No GCL on that list so its trying to pull in sbcl to provide it. I
21 recommend using quicklisp instead. Check it out here:
