Great! You're welcome. FWIW, if anyone else is having problems emerging both slotted versions of libwpg, my problems with libwpg:0.1 and libwpg:0.2 having filename conflicts was due to having the doc USE flag set. It's bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364857 I know some have mentioned that in general it's not a good idea to have the doc USE flag enabled globally. Todd
