I thought I'ld try GCC 4.1.1, Glibc 2.4 & update to KDE 3.5.3 . They're all still "testing", but we do have some responsibility to test, & they've been there for a while without reports of painful experiences. Having dealt with GCC & Glibc according to the docs, I tried to compile Kdelibs 3.5.3 & got a long series of "can't find" msgs followed by failure: there are a number of similar reports in the Forum. Flameyes seems to give the authoritative response at Forum 060602 0917 : http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-467029-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-50.html?sid=759b61da629afeca0dfc16ee01411a17 Following this advice, I unmerged the previous Kdelibs & tried again with the same result. A bit more poking around & I decided the best course was to return to the original state of affairs & restore GCC 3.4.5, Glibc 2.3 & KDE 3.5.2 . However when I did, Kdelibs 3.5.2-r6 failed with the same error ! So recompile everything again to try to make sure they were all in sync: same bad result ! Being experienced, I had made a quick-package of Kdelibs 3.5.2 , which I now tried to re-install via 'emerge -K': it refused, demanding Qt 3.3.6 -- no longer in Portage -- , where I had 3.3.6-r1 . Finally, I tried 'emerge -K --nodeps =kdelibs-3.5.2-r6', which worked ! I've rebooted & restarted KDE & all seems to be back to normal. However, something is still not right with GCC 4.1.1, Glibc 4.2 & KDE 3.5.3 . There was a recent request on Gentoo Dev for people to test things prior to stabilising these items for the next profile, so I HTH (smile). Anyone else have experiences to share ? Any known-to-work solution ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : purslow@chass.utoronto.ca ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
