The missing library is under /usr/lib/ rather than /usr/kde/3.5/lib/
If I create a symlink to the lib under /usr/kde/3.5/lib/, that line passes
but if fails on another library. I'd like to find out why the lib is in a
different place from where it's expected and fix the problem rather than
patch the issue with lots of symlinks. Is this a misconfiguration on my
system?
Definitely something wrong on your box.
KDE-3.5 libs always go in /usr/kde/3.5/lib
KDE-4 libs go in /usr/lib or /usr/kde/4/lib depending on your USE=kdeprefix
Symlinks are not likely to work, as karbon-1.6.2 wants to build against
KDE-3.5 stuff.
Lets start with your make.conf and emerge --info plus eix kdelibs

Unix let's you put config files any damn place you want them. So it's up to you to put them someplace sane. The recent trend is to use a structure like /etc/thing.conf /etc/thing.d/* The first one is used for global settings that affect the entire package (or system in this case as it's openrc). The second has individual files, one for each logical sub-section. Package managers can then update individual bits independently - trying to do updates to one massive file with sed is a distinctly non-trivial operation. With baselayout-1, the layout was a bit haphazard. baselayout-2 and openrc took the opportunity to tidy all this up. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Have a quick look at InfoLog of eGroupware. I think that either on its own, or as it integrates with AddressBook/ProjectManager/Calendar will do more than what you want. I'll be surprised if you need to customise it at all. I have not installed this application, but from a little reading I did, it seems simply a matter of running apache/MySQL/PHP and unpacking the filesystem of egroupware under your /var/www/htdocs/egroupware or what have you. The process is similar to drupal, or any other php based website/CMS that I have come across. Gentoo helps you do this by emerging egroupware and I suspect you will then run webapp-config to configure it. I'm glad I persevered with eGroupware - it looks as if it should be superb. While I'm still only beginning the learning curve, its features do seem to be just what I was looking for. One (of many) problems I'm having, however, relate to configuration/email... At the setup phase, I get this rather un-nerving warning: Checking PEAR::Auth_SASL is installed: False PEAR::Auth_SASL is needed by: EMailAdmin, felamimail. You can install it by running: pear install Auth_SASL However, I've installed PEAR::Auth_SASL - and running the command gives me: $ pear install Auth_SASL Ignoring installed package pear/Auth_SASL Nothing to install $ pear -V PEAR Version: 1.6.2 PHP Version: 5.2.9-pl2-gentoo Zend Engine Version: 2.2.0 Running on: Linux svr 2.6.23-gentoo-r3 #5 SMP Tue Jan 8 22:41:42 GMT 2008 i686 $ I've included the pear version info because all the problems I've found via google have related to a Pear version of below 1.6.1. Stumped by why the installation test for SASL failed, I ploughed on to see where it took me. The answer to this, is as far as trying to access my (working) IMAP server... eGroupware reports: The connection to the IMAP Server failed!! NO, Authentication failed. I'm stumped as to quite what is wrong - it might be that SASL isn't working; it might be that eGroupware is having a strop that my SSL Cert for my IMAP server doesn't match the FQDN I'm using... or it might mean that I've been bamboozled about how to configure eGroupware and it needs me to configure usernames/passwords somewhere I've not found. Any hints about this would be much appreciated. On a more positive note, the address book (once I've got the hang of it) combined with Infolog (assuming it continues to behave as it appears to at the moment) are exactly what I was looking for. What's more, I'm loving the integrated document management, issue tracker - and might even make use of the timesheet facility in future. eGroupware is an excellent find... Thanks...

Sorry, I read that document after I sent the e-mail. However (but maybe I've understood wrong), it says that I have to define that variable only if I want to use the old xf86-video-i810 name. If I don't define that, I should use the new name (xf86-video-intel). Do I get any improvement using the old one (and, is that a good idea?) ?

In my previous mail I sent the xorg.conf file. Do I have to change something? Your xorg.conf is fine. Take a look at make.conf. Somewhere you should define a variable VIDEO_CARDS than contains the string intel. If not, add it and remerge mesa.

Then moved that one out of /etc/conf.d :( Lets not confuse the fellow with our awesome wit :-) Mick, it's a cleanup operation with openrc to get things a bit more sane. Unix let's you put config files any damn place you want them. So it's up to you to put them someplace sane. The recent trend is to use a structure like /etc/thing.conf /etc/thing.d/* The first one is used for global settings that affect the entire package (or system in this case as it's openrc). The second has individual files, one for each logical sub-section. Package managers can then update individual bits independently - trying to do updates to one massive file with sed is a distinctly non-trivial operation. With baselayout-1, the layout was a bit haphazard. baselayout-2 and openrc took the opportunity to tidy all this up. Thank you for the explanation. I am running stable x86 on all my boxen at the moment. I guess I'll have to become accustomed to the new set up soon. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

[gentoo-user] emerge -K complains about -fPIC
I prepared some binary packages (with quickpkg) in order to have a quicker downgrade path just before emerging some beta software. The beta software didn't work as expected so I simply unmerged it and emerged to old ones with emerge -K. This works fine, but produces this warning: * Your CFLAGS contains -fPIC which can break packages. * Your CXXFLAGS contains -fPIC which can break packages. * * Before you file a bug, please remove these flags and * re-compile the package in question as well as all its dependencies Why is this? I do not have -fPIC in my CFLAGS, but AFAIK it's on by default on AMD64 anyway. In this case, why the warning?
[gentoo-user] lvm problem -- is timing?
Hi group, Rather than resurrect an old thread though I'd start anew with a fresh clue. Seems if I add the commands: vgscan --mknodes vgchange -a y mount -a to /etc/conf.d/bootmisc and add it to the boot runlevel, the eee boots to a coherent system BUT not before going through LVM failure, errors, inability to find volumes etc through many console lines until just after the line: *Configuring kernel parameters... comes Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Found volume group vg using metadata type lvm2 5 logical volume(s) in volume group vg now active ... And everything is fine after that. So it looks like a question of timing, of executing bootmisc or something like it earlier, say just after loading dm-mod and dm-crypt and just before the line in the console: *Setting up the Logical Volume Manager... When it all starts to fall apart. FWIW I'm using baselayout-2. Maxim
Re: [gentoo-user] Cannot update world: can't build mesa
I've been using radeonhd, mesa, dri and others from latest git. Now i'm trying to update world. emerge fails building mesa-7.4.2 from portage Well, the problem was with headers dri2proto. These were installed in /usr/local/include/drm and there was a conflict with /usr/include/drm The problem is solved.

When it all starts to fall apart. FWIW I'm using baselayout-2. I've had such problem in the past, even filed the bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255237 For me, the problem was that device-mapper initscript started after lvm. I believe there's after device-mapper line already in lvm-2.02.45, so it should run fine, but as an additional precaution I have dm-crypt script at sysinit runlevel, which starts device-mapper and dm-crypt before lvm or even it's runlevel (boot). It makes sense for me, since some lvm pv's (not root) are actually on encrypted partitions, although I mount these even earlier, but should initrd become incompatible w/ latest kernel, dm-crypt should do the job instead. Guess you can do the same, at least if you don't have dm-crypt mappings, or you can try adding device-mapper to sysinit level directly.
