OK. Portage wanted to install dev-util/cmake-2.6.3-r1 and it always borked. I masked that version of cmake and it is compiling so far with the old version. So, if you have a issue with it trying to upgrade to that version of cmake, just mask it and let it keep the old version. I'm not sure how that update got by me. I was trying to keep everything with the same version. I can say this, I seem to be stable again. Nothing is crashing, programs open and run fine, USB works, kernels compile and my sound is back again. I could get used to this. lol Also, I have a script that I got off the forums ages ago. I'm going to run that soon. It emerges packages one by one and started out as a script to avoid running emerge -e system twice. It does the emerge in a different order to make sure everything is built in the proper order. I don't know if it still works or not or is even needed with the recent changes in portage. I did get it to generate the list of packages but I haven't ran it as far as starting the emerge process. Here is a link to it: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-494331-highlight-.html The script is there to but if it gives you issues when running, I can mail you a copy. It has a checksum thing or something and it is a picky little bugger. I really wish we didn't have to go through all this tho. I also wish I could say exactly what is wrong with gcc 4.3 too. I got a bad gut feeling about this thing coming back to bite us. Well, actually others that have a problem but don't know it yet. Dale :-) :-)
