34 OK, that didn't help. Try: emerge -pv --depclean virtual/blas

47 That is no solution. I highly doubt you need a Fortran compiler :-/ By
48 adding more stuff to your make.conf as a work-around for problems like
49 this, you add more and more stuff to your Gentoo install; stuff you
50 actually have zero use for. By that logic, you could enable every
51 possible USE flag that exists so that you always have everything, just
52 in case. But then you should probably be using openSUSE or something :-P
