all over /usr/lib ;)
easiest way to fix it, would be running 'symlinks'
eix symlinks

That happens when you unmerge first, eselect later. eselect can not deal with dangling symlinks - it fails silently. So, check for broken symlinks, remove them, then run eselect again.
[gentoo-user] opengl - howto get rid of Nvidia
Hi, I have switched from a machine with Nvidia (proprietary) graphics driver to a machine with onboard radeonhd device. Now when reemerging xorg-server or trying to eselect opengl it always tries to find Nvidia's opengl. Of course, I have unmerged the nvidia driver. How can I get rid of the Nvidia heritage? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
