One last remark: libxml2 is needed by KDE 2.2.x, so it's necessary te merge libxml2 again as well after doing the "find /var/db/pkg -iname 'libxml*.ebuild' |xargs -i \ ebuild {} unmerge" command. libxml2 installs in a different location than libxml, so there really is no problem... I did the same, and it works for me... (i installed libxml2 after gconf was compiled successfully...) || || || PS: please use our new gentoo-user list for user related questions, and || help, thanks :) || || || Greetings -- Bart Verwilst Gentoo Linux Developer, Desktop Team Gent, Belgium
