I've done that & everything seems to be ok (big smile). At first, I didn't notice that revdep-rebuild nees to be run with gcc-5.4.0 : since r-r is written in Python, the version of Gcc seems irrelevant. After noticing that, there was no problem. r-r announced no problems. I tested the new Gcc by finishing updating KDE (which I had started) & everything went thro' efficiently & a bit faster, if I'm not mistaken. Thanks as always to the Gentoo devs, who rarely make mistakes & provide us users with the best distro for serious desktop work ; also, no doubt, to the people who are working hard improving Gcc. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
