17 Hi Rumen;
18
19 I did not know I would have multiple versions on freetype on my system,
20 thanks for pointing that out.
21 I did:
22 emerge -v =media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r4
23 and this seemed to work just fine, but the Firefox emerge still fails
24 with the same error message.
25 How do I find out which versions of a slotted program are installed?
26 Maybe it needs a version different from either of these?? Obviously I'm
27 grasping at thin air here, but I don't know what else to think at the
28 moment.
29 Thanks for you assistance, I'm most appreciative.
