Exiting...

Running a revdep-rebuild command did not help for the library problems. Do you guys have any suggestions to troubleshoot this?

Thanks!

Why are you running it as root?

Is this from portage (that's your package manager thingie, right?) or from Berkeley?

Kathryn :o)

If I run it as a user I do not get full debug output. It is from portage yes. It was working flawlessly until I did emerge -DuNva world today.

If I run it as a user I do not get full debug output.

You still don't get full debug output; you seem to have no debugging symbols installed.
