[tslug] Re: Gentoo is b0rken

I guess my first suggestion is to see if someone is having a similar 
problem at forums.gentoo.org, and if you can't find someone, post your 
message there. So many people read those forums, occasionally you can 
get some good help.

Try reemerging python to fix your emerge issues. Um, wait. Scratch that. 
I dunno. But a segfaulting emerge would indicate a broken python.

Try doing an env-update as root, see if that helps. Sometimes ldconfig 
doesn't happen right and then I'm unable to start many programs. Sounds 
like this won't help in your case.

Hey,
  So, I was booting into gentoo yesterday and, instead of my beautiful 
desktop, I got an error message informing me that Nautilus couldn't be 
started (I'm using gnome 2.4). XServer starts up ok, and I can login 
with the GUI, I just can't make it to a normal desktop. 
  Well, thought I, something messed up with gnome, so, worst-case 
scenario is I have to reinstall gnome. I messed around with trying to 
figure things out for awhile (by killing xserver and using the text 
interface) and couldn't fix it, so, I figured I would go ahead with 
reinstalling. And this brings me to my big issue: when I say something 
like "emerge sync" or "emerge gnome" or "emerge [anything]" I get a 
Segmentation Fault. This is a problem. I've tried to find out what is 
going on, but I'm at a loss. Do I have to reinstall my entire OS, or 
does anybody have any idea what is going on here?

Thanks,
Robert Dickerson
