I commented that line out on the new install.  I did change that line a good 
while back.  I also removed gnome in the USE line and removed some packages 
that were related to gnome.  I wonder if that had something to do with it.

Since I don't reboot or even log out very much, it could be something I done a 
while back.  My uptime was almost two weeks when this happened.  I shut down 
when storms come through but that is about it.

Since I had a old CD, I'm having to do the gcc upgrade and a lot of other 
things as well before I even really get started emerge KDE and mozilla.  I'm 
glad you mentioned that LDFLAG before I got to far.  I would hate to have two 
installs doing the same thing or even worse if the LDFLAGS is the problem.

Thanks for the help.  I just hope I can send this email.  This is in Kmail by 
the way.
