Re: [gentoo-user] Anyone else having trouble with x11-libs/cairo?

[Daniel Quinn]

For those who might stumble across this in the future, iamben helped me
out with this on IRC and the solution was rather annoying.

I had symlinked /usr/bin/lolcat to /usr/local/bin/cat

Apparently, somewhere in the stack of things that go on when compiling
x11-libs/cairo, `cat` was used and however it was use conflicted with
the would-be drop-in replacement games-misc/lolcat.

So kids, let this be a lesson to you.  Some drop-in replacements, no
matter how fun, can be mighty unkind to your sanity in the long run.
