Thanks! that was it! After 3 days of fiddling I finally got my 64bit system up and running from scratch. Couple of things that suck is the inability to apply same "GUI style" to 32-bit apps so that they look exatly the same as 64bit (gtk-engines-qt etc.) but that's a minor issue. Most importantly all apps do work so far. > You may also later need for some other pkgs > 'app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs' & some of its brothers. that got pulled in with mozilla-firefox-bin :) -- Dmitry Makovey Web Systems Administrator Athabasca University (780) 675-6245
