Hi Jorg, the problem was that the package vidix-cvs wouldn't unpack and build. Matthias kindly fixed the vidix-cvs package so it now builds.
Thanks Matthias :-)
And thanks for the tips Jorg, I am getting a little more familiar with how Gentoo 'works' - so far I think its great.
It is very fast - seems noticeably faster at everything on the same hardware then Fedora 3 was.
I should have done some pre and post benchmarking to get some comparisions.
I think Gentoo will prove to be a good choice for the VDR box.
Regards Anthony.

Hi Matthias,
Some more stuff ....
I worked out how to get to the next step. Now when I run emerge vdrplugin-softdevice I get the following errors.
mmc root # emerge vdrplugin-softdevice Calculating dependencies - !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "media-video/vidix-cvs" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- media-video/vidix-cvs-0.0.1 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook. !!! (dependency required by "media-video/vdrplugin-softdevice-0.1.0- r1" [ebuild])
Wat is the Problem (masked by: ~x86 keyword) is not an error its a feature.
To emerge this ebuild, yust add a line in /etc/portage/package.keywords i.e.
<snipp> media-video/vidix-cvs ~x86 </snapp>
Do the same with other ~x86 marked ebuilds.
Note: all (most) ebuilds on gentoo.de tree are marked as testing, ~x86. In near Future goes any ebuilds to x86, its better 4 the Developer to handel the ebuilds in stable and testing modus.
It's diffrend by ebuilds, yust test it by your self. Hope i cut a little bit help.
