phpmyadmin always insists cookies must be enabled [SOLVED]

[audiodef]

Trying to run phpmyadmin 3.2.0.1. No matter what I do, it insists that cookies must be enabled. Cookies are enabled. I poked around the web, and saw different "solutions", but I don't have zonealarm (on a Gentoo box? Bwahaha) and it doesn't seem to matter what type of config I select in /setup.

So I'm a bit stuck and I'd appreciate any advice!

EDIT:

I downloaded the latest version from the phpmyadmin site, which is a bit ahead of what's in Portage, and followed their setup instructions. It's working this way.

Hint, hint... can we get a later version of phpmyadmin in Portage?
