hehe, you have my full sympathies. I started my gcc4.1 upgraded on Friday and it completed early yesterday evening. I was also getting errors about kmail and khtml not starting due to libstdc++ having the wrong abi version. revdep-rebuild won't fix it, as the problem is due to there being two gcc versions on the system: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/libstdc++.so.6.0.6 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libstdc++.so.6.0.8 and the way the relevant env var is set, it finds 3.4.6 first. You could tweak the env vars to fix it, but the real fix is to just unmerge gcc-3.4.6. The howto tells you to do it, but it's just a mention in a bigger paragraph and could be clearer. alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
