[gentoo-user] qtcore 5 missing the lrelease binary?

I just installed qt5 for the first time because the latest virtualbox requires it. Now virtualbox 5.1.0 won't build because it can't find /usr/lib64/qt5/bin/lrelease, which (I think) should be in the qtcore package. I copied lrelease from qtcore-4, which worked around that problem but now vbox

Very soon after being invited to open a gmail account, I discovered that google offers non-web-browser access to their free (as in beer) email servers. This puzzled me (still does) because it seems to violate google's basic business model, which is based on advertising revenue. (I never see an

I suspect most people don't even know firefox has a ProfileManager, but I'm here to warn you not to use it. It just cost me years of bookmarks and saved passwords. For testing purposes I invoked firefox-bin with the -ProfileManager flag (don't do this, it's broken!) and created a fresh firefox

[gentoo-user] Don't disable 'introspection'

I don't understand 'introspection' enough to know why we need it, but apparently we do, so don't use the -introspection useflag like I did. The trouble I introduced a few weeks ago when I disabled introspection was subtle enough that I didn't realize until yesterday that I even had a problem.
