I decided to upgrade my gcc (tarball 4.8.2).  Didn't realize what a 
monster of a job that is! It's been compiling for the last 6 hours, on 
my core 2 duo.  Taking up gigabytes of space!

Meanwhile, back to the trashing.  It is apparently already severe. My 
glib thing, or whatever.   Thanks for the heads up about that.

Any further help would be greatly appreciated, as it may save me from 
total catastrophe.  For instance, my system just auto-mounted an 
external drive, without a problem, apparently.  But now when I issue 
umount manually, I get:

/sbin/umount.udisks: symbol lookup error: 
/usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_thread_ref

Should I recompile some vital system utilities, against my new, upgraded 
libs ??

Before shutting down, that is.    What other vital should I test? What 
might depend on the glib, etc.?

I realize this is beyond gtk+ but you guys seem to know this stuff a lot 
more than I.

Also, a note about outages.  I am guessing there are widespread outages 
throughout the U.S., so, some list members are not participating because 
the can't... (that's already been confirmed on some other lists)

thanks.
