See "debugging pan" thread. But let's forget about it for a second. I got a cool script for xchat and I wanted to run it. It turned out my xchat didn't have perl support compiled in (but I DO have USE perl flag set, and always have). Anyway... I figured it's time to upgrade my xchat from 1.8.2 to 1.8.4. First thing I did was 'emerge --clean rsync'. I unmerge the old xchat and merged the new one. Now, the new xchat gives me the SAME error as pan!!! ARRGGGGG!!!! :) Oh my, the number of working apps is decreasing. I was somewhat annoyed because I had a perfectly working xchat before. Darned perl support... Anyway, I figured, forget this.. I am merging the entire gnome-base/gnome. So I did, and it didn't install cleanly. I got these errors: ---- >>> Updating mtimes... >>> Merging gnome-base/gnome-1.4-r3 to / !!! /var/qmail/control/ not found. Config file management disabled for this directory. !!! /opt/kde2.1/share/config/ not found. Config file management disabled for this directory. !!! /opt/kde2.2/share/config/ not found.

So, I remerged xchat to see if it's any better with gnome merged...and NOPE..same thing. It just crashes instantly as soon as I start it. Something is not right. How can it be this difficult to get it to work? My setup is pretty recent and I didn't do anything weird with it. Also, I *did* follow the thread about moving Gnome apps and I did unmerge every single things that was mentioned in that thread prior to merging xchat, then gnome, then remerging xchat again. I also checked /etc/env.d and I didn't even have 90gnome there. Instead I had 90kde. Does anyone have any clue, what's up? Any help would be appreciated. --Leo
