Hey Owen keep cool,

this is a bug of course, a bug that looks fat and dangerous, but this
will be easily resolved.

I don't know about the gentoo problem here.

What is obvious though, is that you have a problem loading some
libraries that live in the private directory of gcc.

On my architecture this directory is named:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2

This directory takes a line in
/etc/ld.so.conf
too !

What you can do is :

1. To get things running only in the current shell (works as user too!):
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

2. To get this running in the whole system (works only as root):
echo "/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2">> ld.so.conf
ldconfig

If you have more problems, feel free to contact me directly.

NOTE THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ANOTHER ARCHITECTURE ! MINE IS
i686-pc-linux-gnu

You can find out about this directory by:
gcc -v
which emits:
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2/specs

This specs directory is the same as the libraries should live in.

I hope this gets your system running smooth again.

BYE INGO
