revdep-rebuild will not solve your problem. It only fixes problems where 
binaries used to link to other files that are no longer there. It 
cannot fix your incompatible CXXABI versions in libstdc++ as it doesn't 
know which gcc versions provide that.


Read this thread:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4107570.html?sid=8acb0d609d3259d3af0dd1c262c7d277
the last post on the page is especially informative.

Run this:
strings /usr/lib/gcc/i486-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/libstdc++.so.6 | grep ABI
to find out what version your gcc is providing. skype requires:

CXXABI_1.3.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.4

as per your original post. I recommend you upgrade gcc to version 4.1.2






thanks,
However I need gcc 3~ for some critical software.  If I change to 4 'it' 
won't recompile.  I suppose I could alternate profiles as required.

I had that with qemu. It reduced me to tears...

Lucky for skype I think it will be easier as you don't build skype:

emerge gcc-4.something
set gcc-3 to the system compiler
make sure gcc-3 libs are earlier in LD_LIBRARY_PATH than gcc-4
run skype with
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1 skype

Check out zotero (http://www.zotero.org). Not in portage, but it's a 
firefox/oo extension and can thus be installed easily.
Other programs (in portage) are pybliographer or bibus. However, zotero 
is the most powerful imho (I used it some time ago).


Hope this helps.

It's not a joke, and we are being quite serious, but in a light-hearted 
way.


Typing all in caps on a public internet forum is about the rudest thing 
you could do -it means you are shouting in a rage.


You obviously don't know this yet, so in future when you post to such a 
list as this, please disengage your Caps Lock and type your messages in 
the proper English capitalizations.

enviroment.  This may have done it.  How do I replace python wout portag?
THANKS
