I didn't emerge anything before this happened. Use flags for kdelibs are as follows: -3dnow +acl +alsa -bindist +bzip -debug -doc -fam +handbook -jpeg2k -kerberos -lzma +mmx +nls -openexr +opengl +policykit -semantic-desktop -spell +sse +sse2 +ssl -test +udev +udisks +upower -zeroconf > > > > I also tried googling, but haven't found anything that made any sense to me. > > try googling pts permissions. > > When you cat mtab, do you find something like this: > /etc/mtab: > devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 > > is the devfs initscript run? does it look ok? > (having this: > devpts /dev/pts 0755 ,gid=5,mode=0620 devpts This is the output from "cating" mtab: rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,size=10240k,mode=755 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,mode=600 0 0 /dev/sda3 / ext3 rw,noatime,commit=0 0 0 rc-svcdir /lib64/rc/init.d tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=1024k,mode=755 0 0 fusectl /sys/fs/fuse/connections fusectl rw,relatime 0 0 shm /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 rw 0 0 /dev/sda4 /home ext3 rw,noatime,commit=0 0 0 Regards, Colleen -- Registered Linux User #411143 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org
