I merged glib-2.28.8 successfully as part of a Revdep-Rebuild job, it being a dep for one of the pkgs in the R-R list. However after that, merging gtk+-2.24.4 librsvg-2.34.0 libglade-2.6.4 all failed with a libtool error : "libtool: link: /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.0.la is not a valid libtool archive" or ditto for libgobject ; indeed, those files do not exist in the netbook, but in my already updated desktop machine, glib did create them. The glib merge msgs did include a recommendation to remerge dbus-glib , but that required dbus & that too failed with a similar libtool error ! I tried remerging glib , but it still didn't create the needed .la files. The only item thrown up by Google was a Gentoo forum thread re a different problem, but recent & suggesting gcc needed updating or users could run into problems with Gnome-type apps. I'm presently updating to gcc-4.4.5 (previously 4.4.3), but that will take > 3 hr in the netbook, so any advice is welcome. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
