I know that there are lots of topics about this, but i am in a serious jam and don't know how to fix this. since i have done a sync, i can't seem to emerge anything without getting this error. (this is from trying to emerge smb4k)

i have looked around and tried many things, but i am still getting this. any help would be apreciated.

PS. i am using gentoo and kde

just tried emerging other aps to find similarities, the common thing with all of them seems to be

libtool: link: cannot find the library `//usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5/libstdc++.la'

when i try to manually find the file i go to /usr then /lib then /gcc-lib and there is no i386-pc-linux-gnu. instead there is a i686pc-linux-gnu, and it contains the remaining /3.3.5/libstdc++.la'

how do i make it use this instead of the i386?

Just symlink it, it's not harmful. Libtool is remarkably keen on caching stuff, it's a pain ....
