There was nothing interesting in packages 37 - 109? > Hmm. So it's quite likely that gcc is the culprit here.

The only problem then is if your current (buggy) gcc will successfully compile the older version or not. > Alternatively it could be binutils? Really scared about leaving > myself with no working gcc/binutils though. binutils is okay. I'm runing the latest ~x86 version and have had no problems. Have almost finished recompiling world with it - recompiling for another reason though. > I just meant to show that I'm willing to try anything no matter how > wacky in the hope of being able to recover from here without a total > reinstall. That I can respect. Do you have a GRP cd? Worst comes to worst you could always just untar the .tbz2 packages you need, fix up your /var/db/pkg and /var/cache/edb/virtuals and then upgrade to what is safe (not gcc331-r2 at this stage ;-) Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
