Step #1) Rebuild your system with gcc-5.4.0 Step #2) Tweak the Octopus overlay ebuild to accept gcc-5 The real requirement is to have consistent ABI across your system. "Mix-n-match" is begging for problems. Still at gcc-4.9.4 on my system, but I've added "-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0" to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. Mind you, doing a fresh install, it would make sense to go whole hog with gcc-5.4.0. Doing brain surgery on an existing system is more work. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
