 |

OK, very weird thing has happened.
Earlier I emerged i2c & lm_sensors and I recompiled my kernel to get sensors working, and they work fine.
On rebooting the system did a check of my hdd because it had been mounted 36 times.
Then I noticed that I could no longer launch evolution to check my mail. Then I noticed some other programs didn't work - gftp and vncviewer are two that spring to mind. In my attempt to locate the missing files I used find, but that too is suddenly missing (although portage shows find-utils installed)
Interestingly all the evolution-* files are still in /usr/bin, just evolution is missing.
I tried to emerge evolution again (before I noticed other stuff was missing) but it threw up an error:
| Code: |
checking for pkg-config... no
*** The pkg-config script could not be found. Make sure it is
*** in your path, or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable
*** to the full path to pkg-config.
*** Or see http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig to get pkg-config.
configure: error: Library requirements (gtkhtml-1.1 >= 1.1.7) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

gkrellm2 no longer starts and thows up the error and then seg faults:
| Code: |
(gkrellm2:3229): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkdrawable-x11.c:764 drawable is not a pixmap or window
[1]+ Segmentation fault gkrellm2

I was planning to do an emerge -u world overnight, but now when I do an emerge -up world, the listing is different. I don't remember all that was there, but before it said portage needed updating, now it doesn't.
help!

Well after emerging rsync (I found rsync had gone missing too), and pkgconfig again, my emerge -up world looks ok and I can emerge evolution.
copying the gftp file from /usr/bin got gftp working again so it's obviously just the files in /usr/bin that have gone missing and not other parts of applications/packages.
I'm still lost as to why so many things suddenly went missing.
