It's also an excellent way to waste several days of one's life that you will never get back :-) If it's only a few packages affected, a much better idea would be to grep through /var/wherever-portage-puts-it to find the CFLAGS for each package installed, determine the ones that are not correct, and emerge just those with 'emerge -n'. How to do this marvellous grepa nd emerge is left as an exercise for the reader, as I'm much too lazy to figure it out at almost midnight :-) If it's most of the system that's affected, then yeah, emerge -e world is probably easier. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
