Hi,
I have all these as ~x86:
* sys-apps/dbus
Available versions: 0.23-r3 0.23.4-r1 0.50-r1 0.50-r2 0.60-r1 0.60-r3

to talk to each other

Available versions: 0.4.7-r2 0.4.8 0.5.5.1-r3
Installed: 0.5.5.1-r3

Description: Hardware Abstraction Layer
* sys-apps/ivman
Available versions: 0.5_pre2 0.5_pre3 0.6.4 0.6.5 0.6.6 0.6.8
Installed: 0.6.8
Homepage: http://ivman.sf.net

HAL
On gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1.
One important note however, all these versions are highly dependent on kernel
version.
Newest kernels don't work (or work badly) with the stable versions, don't know
about reverse.
Check that you have started (all 3) as daemons in /etc/init.d/... (rc-update
add app-name default)
Another thing - check if you have 'inotify' enabled in your kernel config.
That's all, think i haven't forgotten something ;-)
