[gentoo-user] Re: emerge xf86-driver-ati-6.6.3 fails

[Mick]

What do you have under /etc/portage/profile/ ?  I've checked on two machines 
and the make.globals is not there.  Instead it is under /etc/:

# ls -la /etc/make.globals 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2928 Sep 16 08:48 /etc/make.globals

Still desperate for a solution.  Any ideas please?
