Hi,
I've only been using gentoo since the summer, so please bear with me. I recently emerge --sync, and discovered I had more than 100 packages to update "the world". I haven't been able to get through the emerge:
at least one of the packages, libusb, fails with this:
jade -t sgml -d ./website.dsl\#html ./manual.sgml
jade: error while loading shared libraries: libosp.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It seemed that gnome built ok, however, afterward i couldn't get evolution to start...then, i noticed that i couldn't build evolution:

Thirdly, when I restart gnome, i see that i get an error popup:
There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.
The last error message was:
Process /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon exited with status 127
GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.
I got problems! Please let me know if I am hitting the right forum or where I can do better research to run this down.
Thanks,
morris
