Objet: [gentoo-user] Problems installing KDE 3.5.9

Some packages from KDE won't install:
kde-base/kdenetwork-3.5.9
kde-base/kdeartwork-3.5.9
kde-base/kdeutils-3.5.9-r1
kde-base/kdeadmin
kde-base/kdegraphics
kde-base/kdeaddons

The error message is always the same:
 *  The die message:
 *   econf failed


Thanks to Alan Mc Kinnon's advice, I dug a little further in errors messages 
and found this:
qt lib must be the same that was used to compile kdelibs. So a recompile of 
kdelibs did the trick. Hope it may help...

That's the wrong bit output, it's nothing more than an error alert.

What is needed to help you in any way is the output *before* this, as far back 
as the *first* error message.

This means you will have to look at the output and figure some stuff out.

Cheers! Daniel Veiga had the same issue and contacted me with the
solution. My kernel was perfectly right. The solution is to add:

rootwait rootdelay=10

in the kernel line. Gentoo is now running flawlessly!
I intend to post here my mad ideas about compiling and installing the
rest of the packages (mainly graphical stuff).

I had the same problem, and sync was no help, so I just dropped
=www-client/opera-8.54
into /etc/portage/package.mask, so that the current version won't get emerged.
Hopefully, a new version will go stable soon, and it will be emerged in the normal

Well, if you use genkernel, it should automatically place the initrd
and the kernel image at your /boot (at least it does for me). Maybe
check your genkernel command to compile the kernel.

No on said anything was wrong with with doing it the normal way. ;-)

In fact, genkernel is not really different from the normal way.  It runs 
basically the same commands that you would run by hand.  Personally, I use it to generate 
my initramfs.  I'm fully awary that genkernel can be a needless complication for n00bs.

Hey,

I don't believe I can actually answer this one.  I'm a noob to Gentoo!

 Hi all

 I've been trying to install Gentoo. I want to see if Gentoo is for
 me so I've kept it simple. My first attempt I tried a stage1
 install, as this failed the second time I tried a stage3 install,
 if it failed less time wasted. Both times I opted for a genkernel
 install, everything seemed OK, no error messages and all stages
 completed. However both times when I get to 7.d ls /boot/kernel*
 /boot/initrd* I get the same result both times: /boot/initrd*:no
 such file or directory
 /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-genkernel-r6


If you used genkernel to install, you kernel is as you stated above,
but your initrd file isn't what's stated in the Handbook.

The correct initrd file is:
initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6

I had trouble with this on first install too!  :-)

Regards,

Colleen
