I thought that this one sounded pretty simple. The solution I would have given would be to just re-emerge xpdf. The fact that it was working and now isn't says to me that it was originally compiled with "motif" or "openmotif" in his USE flags and then the USE flag and the package was removed. Looking at the ebuild, you'll see it has optional motif support. Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
