Ok, i've got kdm setup, etc, etc. It comes up on boot and I log in, the screen turns blue as if it's about to start kde, but I get a white box in the upper left hand corner that says it couldn't find kdeinit. The only option I have is a button that says "ok" which bumps me back to the login manager. Anyone run into this before?

Had this very problem a couple o'minutes ago. Check if kde-env, libxml, libxslt, fam-oss and libart_lgpl are installed. If not, emerge them, then everthing should be OK. If you did a binary install (like me), be always wary of not-emerged packages, on which emerged ones depend. Seems to me like portage has a little problem here.

Yup, I did a bin. I'll emerge those! Thanks!

I emerged all the packages above then rebooted, I logged in and the same error comes up. Not fixed. Suggestions?

OK, I've written this little script check_dependencies.sh to check the dependencies of
a given ebuild, since portage doesn't seem to care about USE-dependencies when installing a prebuilt system.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#typing "check_dependencies.sh somepackage"  will print out a list of all packages
#on which "somepackage" depends plus installation status
CHECKPACKAGE=$1
if [ -e $CHECKPACKAGE ]; then
   echo "Please specify a package to check"
   exit 1
fi

DEPENDENCIES=`emerge -pe $CHECKPACKAGE | fgrep '/' | egrep -o '/.*-[0-9]*\.' | sed 's/\///g' | sed 's/\-[^\-]*$//g'`
#!/bin/bash
#echo $DEPENDENCIES
for PACKAGE in $DEPENDENCIES; do
   emerge -s ^$PACKAGE\$ | egrep '\*|Latest version installed'
done

Criticisms, corrections, additions welcome!

Visceral, type
Code:

./check_dependencies.sh kde > kdecheck.log

and look out for not installed packages.
