[solved] Dependency Problem with KDE 3.5.9

[Dridde]

Hello,

I've got a strange problem trying to emerge some KDE-related packages.
I fresh install and after the system was ready i did an "emerge kde".
Because i have Accept_keywords ~x86 this emerged kde 3.5.9
But kdm was not merged so i wanted to merge it, but portage says

You see, there are two types of kde installs. There's the monolithic installs (few big packages such as kdebase, kdegraphics, etc) which install all the programs in one shot, and there are also meta installs, which allow you to install each package individually (kdm, konqueror, kuickshow, etc). Once you choose one, you cannot mix the two.

You installed kde-base/kde. This is the monolithic install.
kde-base/kdm belongs to the meta-install. It gets pulled in if you would have installed kde-base/kde-meta.

So anyway, to make the long story short, kdm should already be installed on your system as kde-base/kdebase.

Hope this helps!

AH, i see, then there must be an other reason why it's not starting.

I thought kde would just be a metapackage which pulls in all the others.I should switch to the splited builds anyway.
thx alot and sorry for this dumb question ;)
