Well, after quite a few months of playing around with unstable software, I finally broke my Gentoo installation on the IBM R50 from work. I’m not exactly sure what it was that triggered it, as the issue began with all these apps having broken access to libreadline.so.5, and then continued to simple calls such as getcwd not working. The end result was most ./configure calls resulted in the the script unable to test against certain libraries. Oh well, kinda felt like after all the goofing around with Gnome 2.10 I did that I needed a reload anyways. After how much Evolution 2.2.0 broke the ximian-connector (which I really need now that we use Exchange at work for email), I tried going back to 2.8.2 and thus the issues began. Fortunately I’ve got a better idea of which direction I want to go in terms of configuration, especially since I would like to continue making use of ifplugd (which I hadn’t run into until well after my initial installation). I’m suprised I did last as long as I did though with how many ~x86 ebuilds I had loaded… OH well… For some reason I always have to push the limit… FYI: IBM R50 users, I will probably be making updates / changes to the Gentoo on an IBM R50 HowTo since I am going through a re-install.

Just reading what you said is making me believe more and more that Gentoo is not a stable Linux OS…. But I have had this conversation with you before. BTW your banner is broken, take 5 minutes between working on your lappy to fix this
oh well.
Well the catch to this again is the fact that I was using unstable versions. Both KDE 3.4 and Gnome 2.10 are under the ~x86 unstable tag, so a normal Gentoo user won’t get their hands on it until they’ve worked through some of the bugs. Plus I actually ended up finding out later that the reason mine died was a double wammy of things I did. The first part of something not finding X11 libraries is an issue with unixODBC, which is reproducable against xorg from what I understand. Plus I only had that in use for the chance that I might play with it (but probably slim to none since how many people actually need ODBC in linux?). Then the PHP part was thanks to the fact that I acidentally turned off a form or thread handling, which killed fork(). So they are all things that I brought on myself. A user with default use tags would never see these probs. Oh well. Now when you say my banner is broken… what do you mean? I’ve double checked myself in multiple browsers, but then again I’m still on the intermediate side when it comes to CSS.
