I noticed that boost was pulled in when doing the other updates since. I have -1 in my emerge defaults so at some point, I had to have a good reason for putting it there on purpose. Thing is, you are correct, it shouldn't be there. As a update to status, it is doing a emerge @preserved-rebuild right now but it found a clear path. Once that is done, I plan to add the others in my list except boost. I'm going to scan my world file too, just in case something else is lurking about that shouldn't be there. We all know that having things in there that shouldn't be there causes issues. How boost got there, I'm not sure. Thanks again. So far, nvidia-settings is not wanting static-libs so it seems that is fixed. Dale :-) :-) P. S. I got a email that another part of KDE just got released. Oh yeppie. :-D
