I have installed the new glib and updated all of the dependencies (about 400 of them including libreoffice) and everything seem to be working fine including firefox and thunderbird. I do get the error, but almost everything runs as it should. I can't get multimedia/handbrake to build, but I doubt that it is related to the glib change. I've not really looked at the problem yet. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com
