Emerge problems in kde

**genesus** · 04-23-2005

Well, I recently switched over to kde from enlightenment, because since I now have the power to run it, so...Also, I really want to try out some of its apps I have used before. I have kde up and running without a hitch; however, I cannot emerge any apps, nor dl source directly and compile myself, that require the kde lib files.

I just did a standard emerge kde; however, I always get the same error when trying to emerge numerous kde apps, e.g. qtella or k3b. I get the error...

Code:

Checking for KDE libraries...
KDE libs not found!  If you have installed KDE in an
unusual place, please use the "--with-kde-libs=" option
To disable KDE integration use the "--with-kde-libs=no" option.

make&#58; ***No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

...the rest is just the status message that it failed and not to post this part or the above part. The problem lies in the ./configure part of the auto emerge.

This only happens with apps that require kde apps. Is there something that I have to do to update a path or anything that shows where the kde libs are? I have never had this problem before, only with kde.

Thanks for your time guys,

John

have you run an emerge --sync since installing KDE? The apps could be requesting a newer version of KDE to what u have.

**genesus** · 04-23-2005

I have, a few times, the version of kde I have is the newest that is on portage now

**sdousley** · 04-23-2005

ok, that's odd....

Just as a test, i ran

Code:

emerge k3b

It wanted to install 15 other pkg's, so i ran:

Code:

emerge k3b --nodeps

and it ./configured ok, no problems.

try:

Code:

emerge gentoolkit

then:

Code:

genlop -l | grep kde

and paste the output

**genesus** · 04-23-2005

Code:

#genlop -l | grep kde

&#40;all of the following figures are preceded by date and time of compilation&#125;
kde-base/kde-env3-r3
kde-base/arts-1.3.2.r1
kde-base/kdebase-pam-4
kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.2-r7
...

and 17 other kde sources

also the emerge k3b --nodeps seems to configure ok, but is making over and over and over again, seems to be a loop...think its the lib problem affecting it somehow?

**sdousley** · 04-23-2005

ok, well, here are all the packages that show up when i run genlop -l | grep kde.

Tue Feb 22 22:33:40 2005 >>> kde-base/kde-env-3-r3
Tue Feb 22 23:45:00 2005 >>> kde-base/arts-1.3.2
Sun Feb 27 18:06:07 2005 >>> kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.2-r2
Sun Mar 27 18:40:34 2005 >>> kde-base/arts-1.3.2-r1
Sun Mar 27 21:19:36 2005 >>> kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.2-r7
Fri Apr 8 14:26:55 2005 >>> kde-base/kdebase-pam-4
Fri Apr 8 16:18:40 2005 >>> kde-base/kdebase-3.3.2-r2
Fri Apr 8 17:30:29 2005 >>> kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.3.2
Sat Apr 23 05:12:34 2005 >>> kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.2-r8

if u hadn't worked out already, genlop -l shows all aps that have been installed

**genesus** · 04-23-2005

Yeah, they are all installed, and I haven't had any problems with any packaged kde app, just the one's that require the kde libraries, for some reason on an emerge they cannot be found

any other ideas?

at this point i would just try re-emergeing the kde libs again then if that didnt work i'd umerge them then emerge kde and it should fetch them

there is probably a broken dep or link somewhere
also you might try revdep-rebuild to rebuild reverse dependicies and if you have or do ever unmerge anything you should ruun revdep-rebuild

and pretty much if it cant find a dep then simply re emerge what it cant find

And just as an additional note to that, you should re-run revdep-rebuild (if it did need to re-emerge something) until it simply exits without re-merging something

**genesus** · 04-24-2005

re-emerged the kde libs, then unmerged and emerged them again, then ran revdep-rebuild...it rebuilt firefox and OOo, but nothing to do with kde.

originalloy my make.conf was -qt -kde, but I just took away the minuses when I wanted to emerge kde, should I have done anything else rather than just change the make.conf?

still stuck...

is there a way to update the whole system, emerge -u world maybe? not sure the syntax, do you think that would work...

thanks,

John
