Can anyone explain why I’m suddenly getting the following errors?  
The large program that reports them (an editor) was working fine before  
I updated my gentoo system. Get these at startup. Everything seems  
to be working fine otherwize…

What exactly did you update, and how? It looks as though your open-GL  
library has been updated without resolving some dependencies.
