Since some updates I always got a Floating point excepetion. I tracked this down to app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs, app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs and app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-10.0-r1, app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs-10.0 and app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-10.2 are working, the last stables are not. I ran an x86 non-X program without trouble so I believe that I just need app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-10.2 for a matching version of expat. I did a small search with Google and found a thread in the Gentoo forum which looks exactly like the problem I have. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-624950.html The thread only mentions the problem and the tip to recompile the glibc. I recompiled the glibc already. I also did a backtrace. Yes I know I could isolate the problem more specific but I don't got the time at the moment. $ gdb /opt/RealPlayer/realplay.bin GNU gdb 6.7.1 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

old old stuff.... there are new xlibs and gtklibs out now
