A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.10.0.2/temp/build.log'. Later I checkout all posts about this problem and i found this: Did you emerge php after adding ctype to your USE flags? You probably > need to do "emerge -uavDN world". Yep, it was... I forgot to add -N ... So I did that and this is the final error message: hese are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating world dependencies - !!! Problems have been detected with your world file !!! Please run emaint --check world !!! Ebuilds for the following packages are either all !!! masked or don't exist: x11-libs/libzvt sys-fs/raidtools media-video/spca5xx ... done!
