32 I don't know ... :-) The first thing I did was a ebuild of
33 glibc.2.2.1 and afterwards 'man' worked.
34
35 I *think* I issued ldconf by hand before to make man work,
36 but could not swear on that.
37 And /etc/ld.so.conf did not get updated by env-update,
38 however, the /usr/lib/gcc-lib/.... entry is in it.
39 /etc/ld.so.cache did get updated, though.

47 Great - the next thing I did, was ebiuld OpenSSH (plus dependencies),
48 and now I'm logged in from my freshly installed Gentoo box to another
49 machine to write this mail ;-)
