While trying to install compiz-fusion (and thus ccsm) I ran into this error:

# emerge -av compiz-fusion

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Can anyone help me with this error?

I had many many problems with the xeffects trunk tree (which is where it is pulling your compiz stuff from) try removing that overlay and going at it again.

any suggestions as to other overlays to install it from then since it isn't in portage?

What i am saying is that there is nothing wrong with the normal xeffects, just remove the xeffects trunk because that stuff is typically extremely unstable.

ah, ok. gotcha.

I guess I wasn't 100% sure what an overlay consisted of or actually was, but I think I understand it now. It compiled. thanks
