You need to recompile it with FEATURES=nostrip and possibly
USE=debug. Don't forget to remove -fomit-frame-pointer from
C{,XX}FLAGS, in case you have it. Depending on where the crash happens,
you may have to recompile not only KDE, but also other packages from
KDE's dependencies.

Yes, I was afraid of that. I will rebuild kdelibs and kdebase to start, and
see where that leads me.

[gentoo-ppc-user] KDE completely broken
Hello all, I am having troubles with all KDE apps since a recent upgrade to 3.5.7 from 3.5.5. At first I thought it was related to all the upgrade troubles with expat (which was upgraded to version 2 at the same time) however I am not so sure anymore. 'emerge -puD' reports nothing to update, and 'revdep-rebuild' says everything is kosher. Everything seems to work fine on this box now except for kde apps, and I have not found a single kde app that does work. I typically use kde as my default WM/Desktop. After the upgrade, when I 'startx' I get nothing but a black screen, except for the mouse cursor, which tracks across the desktop normally. Nothing else has an effect. So I changed to Fluxbox, and the desktop starts fine. When I attempt to start kde apps from an eterm I get (as example): $ konsole kbuildsycoca running... DCOP Cleaning up dead connections. Kcrash: Application 'konsole' crashing... $ Depending on the app, the output is similar, but not always identical. When I use strace when starting I can see that all the apps are segfaulting. I would post output here but the segfaults happen in different places depending on the app. Sometimes it is triggered by a read/write call, sometimes by a mprotect call and so on... Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong here? I realize I have not posted much useful information to diagnose this, but I am unsure how to troubleshoot further. I will certainly post output of any commands that may help... System is a Powermac G5, Kernel 2.6.20-gentoo-r5, 64 bit userland.

Thanks for consideration, -d Well, that doesn't sound good. :) Can you try using gdb to get a backtrace? Maybe they're all segfaulting when using the same library/function call. A backtrace from gdb would help us see that. -Joe -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
