I never said that X links to it. I just said that I hope that it won't need to rebuilt X as well, because I did so just yesterday. I am not an X expert, *neither* I care what links against. I just don't want to go again through the pain of long compilations. I did that 2 weeks ago and did so yesterday. No more, thank you. I need my PC to work, not to view gcc and make working their butt off all day *and night* as it did for these two installations. Problem is, I never asked for this new incompatible version of libPNG. You are missing the point. This new version was suddenly emerged as part of the (I would assume...) --update world and has messed up my whole system. I never asked for such a mess, I just asked for an upgrade. If these two libs were incompatible and create such problems, they should not have been allowed to be part of an ebuild. If this was a full installation of Gentoo 1.1a, that is ok, because all of gentoo will be linked against a certain version of libs. But I had 1.0 and when I tried to udpate world, the whole thing went to hell and now I am left with half apps that work and half that don't (plus libGL.so does not work either now :P). As for that script that I need to run, it does not really fixed anything. As I said, rebuilding the mess that the new libpng created, is not an option. I would expect more testing to be done before releasing all these ebuilds to the users or have a more intelligent portage somehow to be able to avoid dll hell. As the other person very well said just an hour ago: "Right now, installing a particular Gentoo release is like nailing jelly to a wall...." I would expect a 1.0 release to be really 1.0 and to know that it works and that it won't put my installation in such state by emerging a game or a qt 2.x app. I need a system that I can trust. That's all. Thank you, Eugenia . _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
