Can't compile kdemultimedia on AMD64

[markusw]

Hello all,

I get the following error when emerging the latest stable KDEmultimedia:

I know sfa about c++, but I've looked at line 245 in system.h and I'm guessing the compiler is treating the variable 'new' as a keyword?

Has anyone go any idea what might be the problem here?

Thanks in advance...

Identical problem here.

Same error in system.h when I emerge k3b.

I'll try these suggestions when I get time. HTH. Regards.

Another suggestion is

emerge taglib
(again)

I had seen the suggestion re kernel headers, but our problem is with system.h rather than types.h as in the other link. Also, being a new to all this, I thought the kernel-headers would need to match the kernel you are running? I guess not.

Emerge taglib made no difference.

Another point to note is that if I emerge arts, then I get a different error at a different place in the source.

Finally, I get the same errors when emerging k3b.

Regards...

The latest linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r2, followed by 'emerge glibc' solves this and a number of other compile issues. Have fun.

Thanks mate.

I've given up on 64-bit for the time being. I'll run a standard 32-bit x86 gentoo on this box and try again in 6 months when I think I might have more time to futz with it.

Cheers!

actually nevermind. i emerged all of world with the "arts" USE flag, and when i emerged multilib this time, it installed without problem.
