Hi, I did install gentoo on my machine starting from a stage2 tarball. After bringing up the minimum system wanted to install the KDE and did a # emerge -u kde
But the compilation wasn't successful since the ebuild 'qt-3.2.2-r1' exploited a bug in the g++ compiler ( which had been already reported in bugzilla but not fixed and marked as 'can't resolve' ) that broke the whole process. So I managed to compile qt by hand , just by typing 'make' in every single dir that made up the sources (i.e. the dirs in /var/tmp/portage/qt...) , and that succeeded indeed(I thought it could be a bug(?) in g++'s memory management and thought that breakin up the compilation in unit could help ). As a final note: I used the makefiles as provided by the 'configure' script launched by emerge. Now , my questions: 1) How can I know how to put everything in place , i.e. where to put the libraries, headers and alike? (trying to guess: cp -r /var/tmp/portage/qt-3.2.2-r1/image/* / ?) 2) Even if a 'make install' would suffice (it does not actually) if i do an #emerge -up kde I still see qt-3.2.2-r1 marked as [ N ] 'cause of course portage isn't aware of the recent build. Is there a way to manually update the pkgs' db? Please don't flame me, i'm still a newbie of gentoo, and I'm riskying of getting fired since whenever I have five minutes left on job I'm sticking on this brand new gentoo box.
