i think that i may have overwritten some important shared libraries when i tried to install kmud. now i'm not able to compile and reinstall glibc. i've even tried downloading the sources from the gnu site, and, of course, it won't compile. i get the same error as i do with emerge.
is there a binary distribution that i can use to repair my glibc install? i just don't want to have to reinstall my whole system to fix this. does any one have any ideas on how i can fix this without reinstallation. i also tried running ldconfig and recompiling. same error. have i completely broken my system?
