Which version of xorg-x11 are you running? I'd blame gcc 3.4.2 but unless you can downgrade and show that it works again im not totally convinced about that. Well, I run xorg-x11 6.8.0 at the moment, and I just re-compiled it (with gcc 3.4.2) right before it started this mess. I'll only take action (downgrade or otherwise) on a gentoo dev recommendation. OK, after much downgrading, upgrading and the like I found the problem. The problem was that for some reason after upgrading nvidia-glx it didn't uninstall the older one, so I had two versions protected by emerge somehow. This is all fixed now though. This has recently happened to me with kdesdk - I uninstalled it some month ago, and when I installed recent version again, kbabel (the only package I ever used from kdesdk) tended to bail out with strange "undefined symbol" messages on random user actions. I unmerged kdesdk and tried to compile & install kbabel by hand. It did the same. Just after I removed every kdesdk lib, kbabel worked again, even the one from kdesdk package. I suspect some hideous, hard-to-reproduce bug deep in portage... Its not uncommon for somethings like files to go googoogahgah closing. |
