is there an easyer way to install kde other than compiling it?
i am getting repeated segmentation faults no matter what i do in the bios, fiddleing with memory, no overclocked cpu, you name it i have tried it and its really getting on my nerves!!! _________________ **** GENTOO SYSTEM SPECS ****

i would go very carefully through your kernel configuration, make absolutely sure you are using the correct processor type.
also go into your make.conf file and double check your use and cflags sections. there is a great faq here http://www.freehackers.org/gentoo/gccflags/
look around on that site, it has some awesome tweaks.
good luck. _________________ katana root # cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease

There is almost a 100% chance that your segfaults are due to hardware problems.
If your BIOS allows you to underclock, try setting the CPU FSB to 100MHZ and your memory speed to 100MHZ for testing purposes.
If this allows you to compile without segfaults, you may want to look into a replacement CPU, or Motherboard, or RAM. |

yes Segmentation faults are most likely hardware problems . unless you trying to create buffer overflows of course. when i was useing slackware i was getting them all the time and it turns out i had a memory problem. so you might try heading on over to http://www.memtest86.com. just download the iso and burn it to a CD and test your memory, or if i'm not mistaken gentoo's LiveCD has a memtest image on it. check the docs just to make sure though.

You could download the i386 binaries from http://www.kde.org to a local directory. The you just have to Code: | # PKGDIR=/path/to/binaries emerge --usepkg kde |

You might choose RedHat's rpms for example. After that, you just have to go into X to see wether it lets you install from rpm. If it does not, you'll have to extract it. I'm sorry about this, but didn't notice that there were no standart binaries there...
You might have to check rpm compatibility with Gentoo... |

OK I did some searches and found something!
# emerge rpm
get kdebase from RedHat rpm and try to install it. It should work! |

First time I used gentoo I had similar problems. Like clumsyninja said I had problems with my gcc flags.
Currently I'm using Quote: | CFLAGS="-march=athlonxp -O3 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="-march=athlonxp -O3 -pipe" |
But you should read about all options.

He can't use athlonxp, he's got an athlon-tbird... he should use a i686 flag instead...
(In my AthlonXP I use -O5... doesn't really optimize much better than -O3, but does some) |
