I’ve updated Gnome 2.8 to 2.10 on two other boxes. The third box (which may have had lots of unstable packages on it) is complaining. When I `emerge gnome`, gnome-games fails with:

game.o(.text+0xa19): In function `bj_game_ensure_config_dir_exists(char const*)’:

It’s insane because I really don’t want gnome-games but it’s a dependancy. Working through it … will post progress…

Emerging single packages seems to work, I wonder if g_mkdir is in a header I don’t have somewhere …

I emerged a set of packages (one and two at a time) out of the `emerge -pv gnome` dependancy list and I got past gnome-games. Must have been a libray somewhere. I will post the history of packages I emerged. I am 3 packages into `emerge gnome`, past the games. Must be working. Very close to getting 2.10 working on this machine. :)
