Gentoo how I loath thee

But only sometimes...

So today I remember that I'm still running Firefox 1.5.08 on my laptop and decide it's time to move up to 2. No problem... `emerge --sync && emerge -u mozilla-firefox` ERRRN WRONG!

/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined reference to `XML_SetElementHandler'
/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined reference to `XML_SetDoctypeDeclHandler'
/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined reference to `XML_ParserFree'
/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined reference to `XML_SetCharacterDataHandler'

... and the list goes on.

ARRG! Okay so let's rebuild the dependencies, but first figure how much CPU time this is going to smack me for:

`emerge -pD | wc -l`
180

Mother of...

Packages to update include (of course) gcc, glibc, dbus (dammit I JUST got it working, quit trying to break it!), etc!

Oy vey... I think I may just stick with 1.5 for the time being, 2.0 seems to require just too many new things.
