This coming from a person that has a lot of bad luck. I did the gcc upgrade and it seemed to work fine here. I found a script on the forums that seemed to work better than emerge -e world. I had a few packages that failed due to my settings but they after getting the USE flags set correctly, they worked fine. I have changed my profile to 2006.1 while I was at it. Maybe you have something complicated since you are running servers but it seemed to work here. I was amazed that mine went so well. Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
