Strange. I've updated glibc versions several times without a hitch. Are you confident in your USE flags? After an upgrade (and the reboot with init=/bin/bash trick), what does 'ldd /bin/login' or 'ldd /usr/bin/python' report? What error results when you try to run one of those programs? -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
