G'day John, I had the problem on a 32 bit machine and just removed the offending file: rm /usr/lib/opengl/ati/extensions/libglx.so I then proceeded with the emerge of the ati-driver.

It's discussed here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/247685 I hope this helps. Thanks, Gregory. Your suggestion pointed me in the right direction. After removing libglx.so, I tried emerge again and got the following message: !!! Cannot write to '/usr/lib32/opengl/ati/extensions'. !!! Please check permissions and directories for broken symlinks. Eventually, I did emerge -C ati-drivers dispatch-conf emerge -D -uav world That seems to have taken care of the problems ... for now anyway. John
