It was fixed, as were errors in compiling Glibc & Gcc, by enabling 'IA32' in the kernel: IIRC this isn't mentioned in the dox. >> (2) it can't find 'revdep-rebuild' despite saying I should run it ! > emerge gentoolkit, doesn't the message that tells you to run it > tell you how to get it? The issue is why the package providing a necessity like 'revdep-rebuild' is not included in the 'system' list, but has to be emerged separately. Does anyone have an explanation (smile) ? The new machine (Intel Core 2 Duo 6750; memory 1066 MHz) is lightning-fast; the 2003 box (AMD Athlon 2500+; memory 400 MHz) is no sloth, but the new one is c 3 times faster (earlier downloads were c 5 min ) : gtk+-2.10.14 13 m 5 m 1 s xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r1 16 m 6 m 15 s glibc-2.6.1 41 m 13 m 4 s + download gcc-4.1.2 87 m 34 m 19 s + download It makes up for all those years I used my little XT (due for a museum) to access a UoT mainframe, being too poor to upgrade (which did prevent me from ever taking up M$ Windows (big grin)). As always, thanks to all the devs who make Gentoo work so well. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
