To give you a full and specific explanation I'd need some more context. For a somewhat less specific explanation I can tell you that the problem is that it tries to link against a broken lib. In your original mail it was the '-lpango-1.0' which made it link against the broken pango library (just to exemplify what kind of info is needed). Without that information and without digging through the deps manually you have a couple of options. One is to try `revdep-rebuild -i --deep`. Using --deep may result in emerge getting the ordering correct. The other option is to abuse `emerge --skipfirst` and when done restart with the rest... -- Bo Andresen
