Thank you both for your help.  :-)


I didn't understand the need to do a make deinstall/ reinstall on 
glib20.  So I tried again:

devel/glib20 and gio-fam-backend seemed to go okay.  I think I got 
further into firefox3, but it failed:

     configure: error: Library requirements (cairo >= 1.6.0 freetype2 
fontconfig) not met


What's next?


TIA,
