I wasn't able to install the binary package properly (as ldconfig is called during the emerge process). However as I was stracing the ldconfig output to compare with the working setup I realised I wasn't logging stderr so hit Ctrl-C and restarted ldconfig. This seems to of "unstuck" the ldconfig failure and I have been able to run ldconfig without breaking things since. I've done a proper src emerge of glibc on a chrooted in my original partiton and everything seems to be working ok now. The config has been updated during the env-update so I wonder if it was a subtle breakage in the config that was causing the failure? malory etc # diff -ub ld.so.conf ldconfig.backup/ld.so.conf --- ld.so.conf 2005-07-17 22:41:47.000000000 +0100 +++ ldconfig.backup/ld.so.conf 2005-06-19 23:31:13.000000000 +0100 @@ -10,9 +10,7 @@ /usr/lib32 /usr/local/lib32 /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib -/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3 -/usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.2 -/usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.2/32 +/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/. /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox /usr/lib/mozilla /usr/lib -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ If you had better tools, you could more effectively demonstrate your total incompetence. -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
