Whenever I'm done being mad at the computer, I'm rebuilding Gentoo.
32-bit.
I honestly cannot see the point of building a 64-bit multilib environment considering my needs. The cost/benefit analysis in my head went something like this:
Cost: Everything Breaks Always
Benefit: Save a few seconds when booting the few programs that take advantage?
Result: 64-bit wastes much more time (breaking, troubleshooting, symlinking, etc) than it saves.
I'll still be on the mailing list to stay abreast of gentoo64 developments, as I fully intend to return, but it's still too "work in progress" to be depended upon.
Sorry if that got a little off-topic. That probably wasn't the help you were looking for.

Well, I was following the steps to a 2005.0 multilib profile, when in the last step I've had to do an emerge -uv world. At this time I start watching how almost all the packages were breacking because they couldn't find some requirements in /usr/lib... So I've started to symlink every one of them, and that was fine with emerging. But now, after all the emerge -uv world, a lot of things do not work... Gdm was not working because I've had to symlink the /usr/lib64/pango to /usr/lib... What's wrong with that? Why are all the libraries mess up? I've seen the script from eradicator but it almost killed all the system, I've had to reboot with a livecd and move the backup .tar.gz to its default location... Well, I hope anyone know what's happening, and can give me a hand... Thanks!
