Hmm, I wonder if this 'stale' gcc-3.4.5 has something to do with it: =============================================== # gcc-config -l [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.5 [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.5-hardened [3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.5-hardenednopie [4] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.5-hardenednopiessp [5] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.5-hardenednossp [6] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2 * # emerge -Cpv gcc-3.4.5 >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: --- Couldn't find 'gcc-3.4.5' to unmerge. >>> No packages selected for removal by unmerge =============================================== The strange thing is that the orphan libs are from gcc-3.4.4. Anyway, I'll delete them now as you recommend. -- Regards, Mick
