system crashed and burned
 
due to some bad ram modules ive been having random reboots, the last one klilled my system, when i do a startx i get

xauth: error while loading shared libraries: libxav.so.6:cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
xauth: error while loading shared libraries: libxav.so.6:cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
xauth: error while loading shared libraries: libxav.so.6:cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
xauth: error while loading shared libraries: libxav.so.6:cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
xauth: error while loading shared libraries: libxav.so.1:cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
xauth: error while loading shared libraries: libxav.so.6:cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory


and then whenever i do anything with portage i get

Python2.2:error while loading shared libraries:libstdctt.so.5:cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

anyone know whats going on?? i really dont wanna start over from stage1...although it might be good for timing agains the laptop that im buying...

im running a 2.5.74-mm2patched to 03+granularity but i also checked in on my 2.4.20-ck6 kernel and it gave me the same thing

First try whereis libxav
and
whereis libstdctt
now it returns something like
/usr/lib/libxav.so.X where X may be any integer
just do
ln -s /usr/lib/libxav.so.X /usr/libxav.so.1
and do the same for
libstdtt
Now it should work
