I am trying to upgrade my gentoo box but it cannot emerge xfree-4.3.0-r2 from 4.2.1-r2

This is the error I got:

!!! ERROR: x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r2 failed.
!!! Function get_number_of_jobs, Line 437, Exitcode 0
!!! Unknown ARCH -- linux!

my settings :

CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe"
USE="X gtk gnome alsa mysql kde qt -java apache2"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"

Any help would be appreciated

what is ACCEPT_KEYWORDS set to in make.conf?

It should probably look like this:

it was actually "~arch"
put it back to "~x86"
gave me error LD_LIBRARY_PATH
then I did
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=""
loooks like it liked it .....
So,

What is the difference between arch and x86 ??

ACCEPT KEYWORDS ="~X86"

!!! ERROR: x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r2 failed.
!!! Function get_number_of_jobs, Line 437, Exitcode 0
!!! Unknown ARCH -- linux!

# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" (that is commented out )
!!! ERROR: x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r2 failed.
!!! Function get_number_of_jobs, Line 437, Exitcode 0
!!! Unknown ARCH -- linux!

SAME ERROR !

Help ?

I'm guessing that there is some case sensitivity, so x86 and X86 are different things (the latter being undefined).

"arch" is used in the comment to tell you that you need to put an architecture there.
Your architecture is x86. Other architectures include sparc and ppc.
