I had this same problem recently, but I did it in a much more stupid way. I'm |
| 11 |
not going to tell you all on here what it was though. |

Suffice it to say that I had to copy lib files from another machine to get it |
| 14 |
working. And because it was the SSL libs that were not working, SCP wasn't my |
| 15 |
friend. It was a pain. |
| 16 |
Why is emerge dynamically linked to the ssl libs anyway? Why does it need ssl |
| 17 |
libs anyway? Why isn't the static use flag hardcoded into the portage ebuild? |

I've often wondered with Gentoo how you would recover if you mashed up your |
| 20 |
glibc, gcc, or similar. With a package based distro, you could just mount and |
| 21 |
install the same package again, but it's a little more tricky in Gentoo. |
