G'day John,

I had the problem on a 32 bit machine and just removed the offending
file:

rm /usr/lib/opengl/ati/extensions/libglx.so

I then proceeded with the emerge of the ati-driver. It's discussed here:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/247685

I hope this helps.

FEATURES="-collision-protect keepwork" =x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r2

-collision-protect installs the conflicting file even if a collision is 
reported. This is more a workaround than a real solution, as the next 
install of xorg-server will probably bring a collision again. Eventually, 
either the xorg or the ati-drivers ebuild will be changed. 

keepwork just avoids re-compiling the driver to save you some time.

There is already bug report (http://bugs.gentoo.org/247685), with more 
information on how to solve this.

Thanks, Gregory.  Your suggestion pointed me in the right direction.
After removing libglx.so, I tried emerge again and got the following
message:

!!! Cannot write to '/usr/lib32/opengl/ati/extensions'.
!!! Please check permissions and directories for broken symlinks.

Eventually, I did
emerge -C ati-drivers
dispatch-conf
emerge -D -uav world

That seems to have taken care of the problems ... for now anyway.

Thanks, Alex.  I finally got through the emerge. I'll keep your note
handy for use next time the collision is reported.
