This package is not there: /# equery b /path/to/xrdb [ Searching for file(s) /path/to/xrdb in *... ] just like: * x11-apps/xrdb Available versions: [M]1.0.1 Installed: none I can kill off the hung xrdb process, as user james. I do not have to sudo or be root, so it's definately a kde thing (outta wack)... What's the best way to rebuild kde? other ideas? James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
