Pete, can you please read the documentation and follow it to the letter: |

What you are asking is covered under the section titled "make.conf |
| 11 |
configuration". |

To find out if you have something installed you can try: |
| 15 |
=============================== |
| 16 |
# emerge --search evdev |
| 17 |
Searching... |

| 33 |
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Alternatively, you can emerge and use app-portage/eix and then run: |
| 36 |
=============================== |
| 37 |
# eix -l evdev |
| 38 |

Finally, if you know the exact package name try running: |
| 53 |
=============================== |
| 54 |
# emerge -1aDv xf86-input-evdev |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Calculating dependencies... done! |

|
| 61 |
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] No |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Quitting. |
| 66 |
============================ |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
The R symbol denotes that you are trying to re-emerge it. If you hadn't |
| 69 |
installed it, you get [ebuild N ] for 'new'. |
