31 OR
32
33 emerge =x11-libs/libXmu-1.0.2 && emerge xorg-x11
34
35 x.org 7 is now stable, so there is no particular need for following the
36 howto. If a package fail, then emerge that package separately, and when
37 it is emerge, try to emerge x.org again.
38
39 I've had several breakdowns today, due to what appears to be
40 semi-circular dependencies. Portage do not handle those very well.

42 One of the packages that failed during emerging x11, pulled in 78
43 packages when emerging it separately. libXmu also gave me problems.
