Hi, I've only been using gentoo since the summer, so please bear with me. I recently emerge --sync, and discovered I had more than 100 packages to update "the world". I haven't been able to get through the emerge:
at least one of the packages, libusb, fails with this: jade -t sgml -d ./website.dsl\#html ./manual.sgml jade: error while loading shared libraries: libosp.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [html/index.html] Error 127 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/libusb-0.1.11/work/libusb- 0.1.11/doc' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/libusb- 0.1.11/work/libusb- 0.1.11' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!! ERROR: dev-libs/libusb-0.1.11 failed. Call stack: ebuild.sh, line 1546: Called dyn_compile ebuild.sh, line 937: Called src_compile libusb-0.1.11.ebuild , line 35: Called die !!! emake failed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. It seemed that gnome built ok, however, afterward i couldn't get evolution to start...then, i noticed that i couldn't build evolution: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: libgailutil.so.17, needed by /usr/lib64/libgtkhtml-3.8.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) /usr/lib64/libgtkhtml-3.8.so: undefined reference to `gail_text_util_buffer_setup' /usr/lib64/libgtkhtml-3.8.so: undefined reference to `gail_text_util_text_setup' /usr/lib64/libgtkhtml-3.8.so: undefined reference to `gail_text_util_new' /usr/lib64/libgtkhtml-3.8.so: undefined reference to `gail_misc_add_attribute' /usr/lib64/libgtkhtml- 3.8.so: undefined reference to `gail_text_util_get_text' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [evolution] Error 1 rm apps_evolution_shell-2.8.schemas.in make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/evolution- 2.8.2.1/work/evolution-2.8.2.1/shell' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 rm GNOME_Evolution_Shell.server.in make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/evolution- 2.8.2.1/work/evolution-2.8.2.1/shell' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/evolution- 2.8.2.1/work/evolution-2.8.2.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. Thirdly, when I restart gnome, i see that i get an error popup: There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The last error message was: Process /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon exited with status 127 GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in. I got problems! Please let me know if I am hitting the right forum or where I can do better research to run this down. Thanks, morris
