29 It is built into 'emerge' AFAIK...

31 You have made a typo or some other mistake. It is documented in the portage
32 guide:
33 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=3#doc_chap2
34
35 Again, ensure that you have the line:
36
37 media-sound/dir2ogg ~x86
38
39 in "/etc/portage/package.keywords"
40
41 Note that this assumes you are running "x86" ARCH. If you are using a
42 different arch then do the same thing but change the arch to what you are
43 using: ie: "~sparc", "~ppc", or "~amd64".
