Hi, Applogies for the cross-post. I'm unsure if this is and amd64 specific problem or a more general b0rkage.
I've posted about my failing glibc emerges before: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/114627 I think I've narrowed it down to ldconfig running during the emerge. In fact at the moment any time I run ldconfig it breaks the system so that I cannot spawn any new shells (they segfault straight away). I can restore my system by untaring a rescue glibc binary. Can anyone give me any hints on how to diagnose the problem with ldconfig and why things stop working when its done? I'm currently building a parallel world on a second partition (in a chrooted environment) to see if there are any differences between the two setups (i.e a subtle breakage occured and was never picked up). -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ It destroys one's nerves to be amiable every day to the same human being. -- Benjamin Disraeli -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
