Emerge KDE3.1 beta2 error

Hi,
I get the following error when emerging kdebase from kde3.1 beta2:
I don't know what to make of it. I run Gentoo 1.3 with gcc 3.1.1. Can anybody help me?

I don't know the answer. But does anybody test these ebuilds once they make them? seems like there are a lot of problems associated w/ merging kde...

Hi TheFogger

I get exactly the same problem :-(

Have you found a solution yet? I'm just about to start digging - offhand I have no idea what's up!!

About the only observation so far is before I started the ebuild yesterday, the dependencies demanded the download of at least 3 different versions of docbook (30 31 and 40, IIRC) which I remember thinking was odd (and this fault is clearly related to docbook...)

Hmmmm.....

The problem seen here is most likely due to an old docbook/sgml installation. Check what is installed by:
emerge -s dockbook

Update all of the packages that is installed where a newer version is available.

I didn't see this problem during compile, so I think it is version related.

All the docbook related ebuilds are installed and up to date. I only updated one package from -r0 to -r2 but that didn't change anything. It's not too bad, I can wait until a final version of KDE 3.1 is released.

OK - I've "fixed" it!! Now there's no absolute certainty that you're identical, but I reckon there's a good chance.

First off, an admission: Rather than simply emerging -u kde, I first moved /usr/kde/3.1 to /usr/kde/3.1_beta1 and set up my envs to point to this. Hence my existing beta1 still works fine while I build beta2. The 'move' worked fine, and I then emerged arts and kdelibs with no issues, and they of course installed into /usr/kde/3.1/

It's then that the docbook stuff in emerge kdebase failed.

Question: did you also do some jiggery-pokery before emerging?? :-)

The 'cause' was that the 'new' meinproc which ended up in the beta2 tree was clearly wrong (interestingly it was exactly the same size as the beta1 version, but not byte for byte identical as per md5sum).

All I had to do to fix it was remerge kdelibs (well, actually, manually only do the bits required to build meinproc, as this 600MHz laptop is slooow) and all works fine (kdebase is now building OK).

The mystery to me is that between emerging kdelibs the first time, and rebuilding meinproc this time, nothing in the env (system or mine) has changed..., yet the beta2 build had probably picked up something lying around from beta1.

So I suggest:

1) Re-emerge the beta2 kdelibs (or just meinproc if you feel brave)
2) Try kdebase again

Good luck!
