Okay, tried that. I did install 7 more packages (1 new, 6 rebuilds/updates). But it didn't resolve the problem. I'm trying to determine if qt-4.4.2 is even installed. Looking at /usr/lib there doesn't appear to be any qt-4.4.2 libs, only qt-4.5.3. "qlist -Ia | grep x11-libs | grep qt" only returns the following: /usr/qt/3/etc/settings/.keep_x11-libs_qt-3 /etc/qt4/.keep_x11-libs_qt-core-4 Also, "find | grep libQt | grep 4\.4" didn't return anything, while "find | grep libQt | grep 4\.5 returned what I saw in /usr/lib/qt4. So, then is x11-libs/qt-4.4.2 even installed? If not, how do I get rid of this? TIA, Ben > Like you, I thought that was what the -D did but > apparently that only goes to a certain depth then stops.
