[gentoo-user] trouble installing kvm on gentoo-2.6.24.-r4

[Brian Wince]

All,
I am trying to install kvm (kernel virtual machine) on a box running gentoo-2.6.24.-r4.
# uname -a
Linux rbos-hybrid-02 2.6.24-gentoo-r4-nosctp-nomsi #3 SMP Fri Aug 1 12:12:33 PDT 2008 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Dual Core Processor 4450e AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

When I first went to install it all of the KVM's were masked due to EAP so I upgraded portage to 2.1.6.7.

Now when I try and install kvm it complains with the following:

>>> Failed to emerge app-emulation/kvm-84, Log file:

>>>  '/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/kvm-84/temp/build.log'

 * Messages for package app-emulation/kvm-84:

 *
 * ERROR: app-emulation/kvm-84 failed.
 * Call stack:

 *             environment, line 2687:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:

 *  The die message:
 *   Unable to emake HOSTCC=i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc CROSS_COMPILE=i686-pc-linux-gnu- LDFLAGS=   all
 *
 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
 * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/kvm-84/temp/build.log'.
 * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/kvm-84/temp/environment'.

I have the following in /etc/portage/package.use app-emulation/kvm kvm sdl qemu

and in package.keywords I have
app-emulation/kvm ~x86

Is this due to upgrading portage or something else and what is it that needs to be done to make this work.
Please let me know if you require further information and I will post it.

TIA,

brian
