KDE 3.2b1 konstruct built on Gentoo byteorder.h

Hi.
I just compiled KDE with konstruct.
(go to kde.org and developers page... it's just as easy as emerging it... and it has good instructions for keeping it in a user directory so it doesn't screw the rest of your system)

(Gaming -r5 kernel)

There was one problem with the install (I did the meta/everything method)

kdemultimedia didn't compile
error in /usr/include/asm/byteorder.h
/usr/include/asm/byteorder.h:38: error: syntax error before "__u64"

on line 38 there is an inline that should be __inline__
I changed it and it compiled fine

Then I had to restart the make install from the /meta/everything directory

I'll post back right after I've tried using it...
but kde 3.1.3 on knoppix and kde 3.1.4 on gentoo both stopped working after I updated my bios... (nforce 1 asus motherboard)
They die on initilizing of peripherals

Well that bug was only for gaming kernels...
there was another compile error later on...

I tried to follow the instructions at the kde website to get it to run on my kdedeveloper user... but I couldn't get startkde to work...

I fiddled with

export DISPLAY=0.0:
and export DISPLAY=localhost:0

and other stuff like that...
startx worked fine... and I started kde from an xterm ... but it said it couldn't write to the KDEHOME dir that I set for it. The permissions seemed OK

and other stuff...
(I did /etc/init.d/xdm stop instead of removing it from the runlevel)
