Duncan,
Thanks for the great explanation. For the first time I feel that I
have something more than a vague understanding of what is happening in
my new system. I do have one or two bones to pick though:
1) I believe that 2004.3 is 'deprecated' (not depreciated) since the
other day when
Duncan,
The 2004.3 boot cd for AMD64 has a splash screen. Like you I prefer to
see my system bitch at my stupidity instead of just hang so I don't know
about the installed system.
Cheers,
Tres

There are two 2005.0 profiles. One with and one without. Perhaps I
wasn't clear in saying that I had to revert to 2004.3 and update
everything. Then I had to change my /etc/make.profile symbolic link and
add multilib to my USE and then re-update my system. Sorry for being
unclear.

Have you tried running the last su command without the '-' so that it

Does anyone know how to use gdb to view the mmx registers in hex in a
running program? If I ask for "info all-registers" I get:
xmm4 {f = {0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}}
{f = {4.48415509e-44, 0, 0, 0}}

It did. I'd done that before but forgot about it this time around.
Anyway
I'm trying to port plextor-tools.ebuild from ~x86 to ~amd64 and have
encountered a problem. The Makefile sets
CFLAGS=`gnome-config --cflags applets` $(SCFLAGS)
but "gnome-config --cflags applets" returns "Unknown library `applets'"
even though I have gnome-base/gnome-applets installed.

That is a poor solution in my opinion. The suggestion was made to mount
