I searched the net and handbook, but I only managed to learn what is the masked package, and not how to install it. I did find some commands, but they don’t seem to work on 2008 (looking at it, it seems those are for earlier versions). I have something like this:

localhost ~ # emerge flamerobin Calculating dependencies  !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy 'dev-db/flamerobin' have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - dev-db/flamerobin-0.8.6 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) - dev-db/flamerobin-0.8.3 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

I would like to install version 0.8.6, but don’t know how? I found some instructions, but they tell me to edit or write to some files under /etc/portage. However, I don’t have /etc/portage on my system:

localhost ~ # ls /etc/portage ls: cannot access /etc/portage: No such file or directory
