Are you using the monolithic or split ebuilds for kde? That is, did you emerge kde or emerge kde-meta? If you using the monolithic ebuilds, this binary will be provided by a different package. If you'll locate the actual binary, you can find which package provides it with equery b /path/to/xrdb. You might be able to recompile that package. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. bss03@volumehost.net -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
