I have a few packages that won't build, and glib is one. Over and over. gtkmm is another. There is an upstream gtkmm that is said to solve that issue, but I haven't gotten the courage to bump an ebuild to a new version. How would one rebuild the toolchain? > > You say it works as root.

I have tried it as three different users, and have moved .mozilla, used firefox2, firefox3, firefox3-bin, epiphany. The same thing happens. Moving .mozilla has no effect. My system has been riddled with these issues of permissions and (I assume) dbus and/or hal issues, since when. The livecd was a mess: took several passes even to get a working, booting system. It's getting better. Thank you, Alan -- Alan Davis "It's never a matter of liking or disliking ..." ---Santa Ynez Chumash Medicine Man
