Does anyone have any ideas on getting evince back to > normal? I did try deleting .gnome2/evince. Have you recently emerged evince/poppler/poppler-bindings ? To test if perhaps the version on the gentoo servers is currently bad I just now remerged them and did the suggested revdep-rebuild, which as expected rebuilt nothing. Everything worked fine; in particular, evince file.pdf worked. Perhaps you should remerge them in case one of yours is corrupted. Here is the beginning of my emerge showing the use flags allan gottlieb # emerge evince poppler poppler-bindings These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!
