Thanks, Mark OK, this worked for me. I removed nss and the nss directory and all links were gone. I then emerged evolution which pulled in nss and everything was built correctly. There's a bug in there somewhere I suppose but I won't be reporting it. Thanks to all for your help and explanation about what the purpose of the new commands are. I appreciate it. Cheers, Mark
