You need to set /etc/conf.d/clock to GMT (if your bios keeps time in GMT - up to you) and set /etc/localtime to London, or whatever. I think... I get confused sometimes :) HTH, Hi, Excellent keeping GMT in /etc/conf.d/clock and setting /etc/localtime to Europe/London did the trick.

Yes it happens at the same place every time (I have tried to merge it about 3 times just now). Nothing appears in the logfiles to indicate any disc based problems. Otherwise, try removing /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4 and then fsck'ing your file system before attempting a merge again. And check there is enough space left on the device.

Well, you only need meta packages if you want to install everything that
ships together upstream. You could just emerge the split packages you want
such as e.g. konqueror, kcontrol, etc..
Ok i'll probably re-install unless there's some easy way to clean up.
There certainly is an easier way than reinstalling for this issue. What
you've posted thus far actually suggests that you haven't made a mess out
of your system yet as it showed kdepim and kdebase as not yet installed. In
that case you just need to stop trying to install monolithic packages.
I have stopped as soon as I read that last email :)
Otherwise you need to unmerge the monolithic packages you've installed
with --nodeps and remerge the split packages that they've overwritten. Code
Listing 3.1 in the above document shows you how to get the name of the
packages any monolithic package would overwrite.
I am don't seem to have installed many monlithic packages, mainly just trying
to do kdepim, i did have kdegames but i've got rid of that.
So from now on I should always install a package with -meta if its from kde
(providing one is available eg. kdevelop)?
E.g. if you've emerged kdebase-meta and kdebase at the same time and you
want to stick with split packages you can do this:
# emerge -Cva kdebase
# function die() { echo $@; }
# source $(portageq portdir)/eclass/kde-functions.eclass
# emerge --oneshot -va $(get-child-packages kde-base/kdebase)
I don't have kdebase, just kdebase-meta. But i've spent a while compiling kde
stuff. I will keep checking for others.
Thanks

[gentoo-user] seg fault emerging abiword
Hi All, I found Gentoo a couple of weeks ago after using redhat and debian for a while. So far I love it, I've managed to get everything configured the way I want and it seems so much more stable. My only little problem is that when I try to emerge AbiWord (2.4.5-r1), it compiles fine but when it tries to install to files into the real filesystem it segfaults like so: /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/AbiWord/system.profile-zh-CN --- /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/AbiWord/glade/ /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/AbiWord/glade/xap_UnixDlg_Image.glade /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/AbiWord/glade/xap_UnixDlg_WindowMore.glade /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/AbiWord/glade/ap_UnixDialog_New.glade /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/AbiWord/glade/xap_UnixDlg_Encoding.glade /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/AbiWord/glade/xap_UnixDlg_Language.glade /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/AbiWord/glade/ap_UnixDialog_Options_ColorSel.glade /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/AbiWord/glade/ap_UnixDialog_Options.glade /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/AbiWord/glade/ap_UnixDialog_WordCount.glade /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/AbiWord/glade/ap_UnixDialog_Styles.glade Segmentation fault I can't find anything in the emerge logs, it only mentions going to merge abiword then nothing. I have searched on google but am unable to find anything relevant. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Mat Harris pgpwJvK1otnZY.pgp Description: PGP signature
