Thanks for reporting. I was able to reproduce this bug. It is a problem in the OpenMotif library. It turns out ClustalX is only compatible with the 2.1 branch of OpenMotif, not the 2.2 one. You probably updated "x11-libs/openmotif" some days ago, so ClutalX just stopped working. I issued a revised ebuild ("sci-biology/clustalx-1.83-r1") which fixes the problem. Just sync your Portage tree in a hour or so, and reinstall ClustalX. It will, however, force you to downgrade OpenMotif to version 2.1, and this could break other packages. Right now, it is impossible to have more than one implementation/version of Motif installed at one time, but Heinrich Wendel (lanius) is working to provide new ebuilds to support multiple concurrent versions and implementations. If this is of importance to you, you might want to check bug #29388 (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29388).
