Where are your libXft libs ? Did you remove them ? Locate them & report what and where they are.
Here you are: ls -l `locate libXft` -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 83946 Mar 4 15:59 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 4 16:00 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so -> libXft.so.2.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 4 16:00 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1 -> libXft.so.1.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 62852 Mar 4 15:59 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 4 16:00 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2 -> libXft.so.2.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 81995 Mar 4 15:59 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2.1 locate libXft | xargs -n 1 etcat belongs Searching for /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.a in * ... x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5 Searching for /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so in * ... x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5 Searching for /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1 in * ... x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5 Searching for /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1.1 in * ... x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5 Searching for /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2 in * ... x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5 Searching for /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2.1 in * ... x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5
weird, seems the libs are there. try remerging pango
Success :) I did 'emerge rsync', and, following prompts and error messages regarding dependencies, I did: emerge portage emerge XML-Parser emerge autoconf emerge conglomerate The gtk+ emerge did this (unmerged 2.0.6 and merged 2.4.1): x11-libs/gtk+ selected: 2.0.6-r1 protected: 1.2.10-r9 2.4.1 Pango and I think glib was also rebuilt in the process (I hope everything depending on glib still works .. )
good enough.. closing INVALID (not reproducable)
