I'm not sure I remember everything, but I'll try . . .

I tried to update to KDE 3.2 using ~x86.  kdelibs-3.1.4 blocked qt.
So, unmerged kdelibs-3.1.4 and emerged the new qt.  The install of 3.2
failed at some point, so I installed 3.1.5.  Now, kde won't start.  The
Nvidia splash screen flashes 3 or 4 times, then I'm dropped into
console.  I checked /etc/X11/Sessions and it has the proper items,
3.1.1a and 3.1.5.  No matter which I put in /etc/rc.conf, I get the
same result.  X works, but kde doesn't.  I'm stumped as to where else
to look.  Any advice appreciated.  Thanks.


You didn't by any chance update gcc as well?


No, I have 3.2.3-r1. And glibc 2.3.2-r1.

Anyway, the problem probably isn't KDE, but XFree. (you could try and see
whether startx works) Check through the XFree log (/var/log/XFree86.0.log)


startx works, as does xdm. I can call up Mozilla, e.g. The XFree log shows no errors.

I unmerged all instances of KDE I had, as well as qt. Then I emerged kde-3.1.5, which pulled down qt 3.2.3-r1. After 13 hours of compiling, KDE still doesn't work. The kdm.log doesn't show any errors. I don't know if it's relevant, but ldconfig shows:

ldconfig: /usr/qt/3/lib/libscintilla.so.3 is not a symbolic link

Well, it isn't - it's just a file. That directory has libscintilla.a, .so.3, so.3.0 and so.3.0.0. None of them are links. I really, really do not want to reinstall Gentoo. I hope someone has a clue, a pointer, suggestion, anything.

I had this ldconfig problem too. Here's what I did. I noticed that all the libscintilla libs (except .a) were the same size. So I deleted all except libqscintilla.so.3.0.0, then created symbolic links from libqscintilla.so, libqscintilla.so.3, and libqscintilla.so.3.0 to libqscintilla.so.3.0.0. Then reran ldconfig.

Cheers,
Kevin
