OK. Im gonna go an do it that way. I agree with u that installing things  
with out emerge can break stuff... ive seen it happen. 
 
Is there a listing somewhere of what all the +/- variables mean? I have  
the list but still trying to find out what the following are in gentoo: 
 
--enable-discard-path = discard-path ? 
--with-gettext 
--with-mm 
--enable-overload 
--enable-dba 
--enable-gd-native-ttf 
 
--enable-gd-jis-conv = iconv ? 
--with-zend-vm=GOTO = vm-goto ? 
--with-java = java-external ? 
--with-mcrypt = crypt ? 
 
The rest I was able to figure out on my own. 
thanks!
