After merging mail-client/evolution-2.0.3, I went to run it and all I got was it's usual sized window, and the vast majority of the UI was not visible. In it's place was a pale flat shade, and the Contacts button was visible in the lower left. I'll try to get a screenshot of that. On STDOUT is a whole mess of errors, I will attach that, along with my merge log. The merge log has many lines such as the following, though completes the merge anyway: libtool: link: warning: `/usr/X11R6/lib/libpangox-1.0.la' seems to be moved libtool: link: warning: `/usr/X11R6/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la' seems to be moved libtool: link: `/usr/X11R6/lib/libxml2.la' is not a valid libtool archive libtool: install: error: relink `libevolution-calendar.la' with the above command before installing itmake[4]: *** [install-componentLTLIBRARIES] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/evolution-2.0.3/work/evolution-2.0.3/calendar/gui' make[3]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/evolution-2.0.3/work/evolution-2.0.3/calendar/gui' make[2]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/evolution-2.0.3/work/evolution-2.0.3/calendar/gui' make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/evolution-2.0.3/work/evolution-2.0.3/calendar' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 This renders evolution 2.0.3 completely unusable.

/usr/X11R6/lib/libpangox-1.0.la ? I dunno what you did with your sys, but those files do not get installed there.
What could I have done to cause such badness?
(From output) Can't find '/usr/share/evolution/2.0/ui/evolution.xml' Does that exist for you? libtool: link: `/usr/X11R6/lib/libxml2.la' is not a valid libtool archive That should be looking in /usr/lib not /usr/X11R6/lib - although if you have a recent version of xorg-x11 then /usr/X11R6/lib is a symlink to /usr/lib. So it's not the location we're worried about, it's the invalid libtool archive message - perhaps something went wrong with your merge of libxml2. Can you try remerging libxml2/upgrading to the newest version? The problem here really is that the build doesn't die when it should. libtool: link: `/usr/X11R6/lib/libxml2.la' is not a valid libtool archive libtool: install: error: relink `libevolution-calendar.la' with the above command before installing itmake[4]: *** [install-componentLTLIBRARIES] Error 1
Sigh. I think what's going on here has something to do with moving from kernel 2.6.7-grsec to 2.6.10-grsec-20050107 . I also had problems with Xorg, and then more and more things. Short story, dozens of unreproducable errors. Moving back to 2.6.7-grsec, I am not having any of these problems. Including the problems I filed this bug for. I appologize, this can be closed as INVALID(?). Thanks for the help!
invalid it is, do file your problems with the kernel though of course to the appropriate team.
