Stumped at Emerging PCMCIA-cs during Installation

[aansari]

All,

I am a newbie to Gentoo and got stucked at the installation step 17.3: Emerging PCMCIA-cs


Machine = Dell Latitude CPX Laptop
Network = Xircom Cardbus
PIII - Stage3 Installation


I get following error when I issue this command.

cdimage conf.d # emerge --usepkg pcmcia-cs
