OK. I did do a emerge -C mozilla once. I even re-emerged xorg too. What
about this:
1) emerge -C mozilla
2) delete the heck out of /usr/lib/Mozilla. :-) Maybe up arrow and hit
return one more time for good measure. ;-)
3) emerge xorg one more time, for good measure.
4) emerge mozilla
5) Say prayer that it works, even though it has not worked yet. ;)
That sound like a reasonable plan you think? Should I take out the gnome flag
that I put back in my USE line? I thought that may have broke something
because that was the last thing I changed.
Should I really start looking at that hard drive you think? Something
happened to those files. I didn't even know where they were until today.
LOL I promise, I didn't do it.
Thanks
Dale
