I did some research, and found that the libwwwsql.so lib belongs to package net-libs/libwww
when I try to reemerge that, I get !!! Error: the >=mysql-4 package conflicts with this package and both can't be installed on the same system together. heh. But they are! This looks like a bug in portage to me, as I should not been able to install mysql-4 if that is so, right? Peter G. -- "The Empire never ended."
