32 Hi Francisco
33
34 I tried:
35
36 emerge -va emerge -av ati-drivers
37
38 but got this error:
39
40 !!! ERROR: x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.32.5 failed.
41 Call stack:
42 ebuild.sh, line 1614: Called dyn_compile
43 ebuild.sh, line 971: Called qa_call 'src_compile'

50 !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call
51 stack if relevant.
52 !!! A complete build log is located at
53 '/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.32.5/temp/build.log'.
54
55 Any hint on what could be the problem?
