okay. i did kindof a stupid thing. i downloaded the binary version of kmud and attempted to install it to /usr/local by copying the in the lib, bin and share dirs in the package directory to their respective locations in /usr/local. well, i didn't backup any of those directories in /usr/local and i didn't use the interactive switch for copy.
so, now, xnview (and possibly other programs) won't start and gives this error: xnview: /usr/local/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6) xnview: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: version `GLIBC_2.1.1' not found (required by /usr/local/lib/libc.so.6) xnview: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: version `GLIBC_2.2' not found (required by /usr/local/lib/libc.so.6) xnview: /usr/local/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6) so i tried to reinstall glibc, but it gives me this error: checking size of long double... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (long double), 77 See `config.log' for more details. !!! ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r1 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 405, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message) i don't know why it would fail on something as simple as this. does anyone know why this would happen and how to fix it? it worries me that glibc isn't compiling. this could lead to a lot of nasty problems. any ideas on how to get glibc to compile? or, is there a way for me to get a binary version for my system that would be fine with Gentoo? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
