Hello everyone. I'm running Gentoo, and I (not knowing any better) attempted to install GDM from source using the usual ./configure --prefix=/usr, make, make install procedure. This seems to have broken my GDM beyond my ability to repair it. :( I have tried doing a 'make uninstall' from the source tree of the gdm that I compiled, then reinstalling the GDM from Gentoo's package manager (2.4.1.7). This still didn't fix it, so I attempted to remove pretty much everything with 'gdm' in it from my slocate database, then reinstalling GDM. I'm at a loss as to how to proceed, if someone has any idea how to fix this, please help. When I start the gdm daemon, I see X come up briefly, then die with no error to stdout, stderr, or syslog. The gdm process stays after X dies, so I thought I might attempt to manually start a gdmlogin. All that comes up is a small window that says my greeter version does not match the daemon version. I'm not sure what other info I can provide, so I'll attach a gzipped strace gdmlogin executing. Thanks very much in advance, for any help. -- Curtis Magyar cumagyar mts net
