Hi to everyone,

I'm using Gentoo 2004.1 for AMD64 platform, and I'm trying
to install KDE from source without luck.
Here's my story.

Time has passed since I last tried to emerge kdebase 3.2.1 without success.
I thought that waiting for the next release could have solved the issue, as
well as posting a bug on bugs.gentoo.org.

In the meanwhile, I've searched the internet long and wide for hints on
how to solve the problem.

Which problem?

Ah yes:

emerge -v kdebase

starts compiling kdebase and it halts at some point with an error.

Here follows a biref summary of the things I have tried to sort the problem:
1. Commenting MAKEOPTS="-j2"
2. Using less "aggressive" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" in place of "-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC"
3. Emerging java-config 1.2.6
4. Issueing a: DO_NOT_COMPILE="doc" emerge -v kdebase
5. Modifying cvs.sh at line 302 (or was it 320?)
6. Reinstalling the whole thing from scratch!!
7. Every hint and/or advice you might find on these forums

I must add that I have double checked my system's RAM with memtest
and found _no problem_.
More, kdebase is, so far, the only package that I'm not able to compile.

I've compiled firefox 0.8, gnome 2.6, tetex and other beasts without a glitch.


Here follows one of the error (very similar each one to another) I see
during compile:

The errors I get are not always at the same point, and yes, _I did
a memtest check which showed no problem at all on the RAM side_.

Please note also that:

kdelibs 3.2.2 compiles flawlessly and so does arts and qt!

I have no idea to what to touch to solve this frustrating problem.

Please, please, please, Help me.

Regards,
Carmine

My suggestion is to run `ldconfig` as root.

But really this is a post for forums.gentoo.org , people there will know more about this.

Hi eean, thanks for your reply.

Well, actually I posted a few times on forums.gentoo.org and didn't
find any solution to this issue.

I thought that writing straight to the core of KDE couls have shed
some light.

I'll try "ldconfig" as soon as I'll be back home.

Thanks
