I really did. So I suppose, that I have old versions for some pstricks
components. The basic pstricks installation is from tetex-3.0_p1-r3 as
included in Gentoo. Yesterday I made a new installation of pst-3dplot,
pst-eucl, pst-fun, pst-jftree,  pst-labo, pst-optic,  pst-vue3d,
pstrick,  pstricks-add and xkeyval with the CTAN packages. I still tried
to install new version of xcolor. But I got, performing 'latex
xcolor.ins' :

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.5-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)
---! /root/.texmf-var/web2c/latex.fmt doesn't match pdfetex.pool
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

Do you still have any suggestion?
