Hi,
Yeah I know this should probably be on a Gentoo list, but I suspect this
isn't really a Gentoo problem. I did an 'emerge world' today and while
updating a package an error occurred which I don't know how to fix. Glib is
the package that is problematic. I have included the error messages below,
so hopefully someone can tell me what to do, how to proceed. If you can not
help with, or are not interested in, this problem, please ignore everything
starting with the error messages, for the rest of the message. I won't say
anything below that. Once again, I hope someone can help!
Jayson.
