KDE dependencies not emerging

macgyverSSUC · Posted: Mon Sep 19, 2005 5:39 am Post subject: KDE dependencies not emerging

Ive tried to emerge "kdebase" and the first dependency (cyrus-sasl...) is aborted.

I then tried emerge "kde-meta" and the second dependency (media-libs...) is aborted. It is obviously not my internet connection (notice the 1st dep. emerged fine)

This is my first Gentoo install that made it to KDE, so be gentle :wink:

.

BTW, I had to emerge sync to install properly (as some ebuilds did not work). I used Jackass 2005.0.

you should probably post some more details about the error (copy paste the relevant part)

I would if I had access to the error message. I had to reboot into Windows or Knoppix to post this.

Is there a file that saves the errors from emerge that I can get from within Knoppix?

I will reboot and try again..and if need-be, copy it via paper. I seemed to me that the error had something to do with not being able to download the dependency. It cycled trough about 3 mirrors and then aborted.

I'll keep you posted.

This might help, i'm getting the same error.

Hmm... still too few, try to post your "emerge info" or at least your USE flags.
Errors might be saved in /var/log/emerge.log.

You can work without KDE in X with a firefox or so (if X and firefox were already emerged). That way you can browse without having to boot windows

Sorry this was late...

Here is the output log with error of emerge.

The problem is those logs don't say anything about "why" the package failed to compile properly, and your earlier post only indicated that there was an error, not what the error was. In order to spot that, you will need to look for the first occurrance of the word "error" which may give a hint as to whether it was caused by a missing dependency, improperly written code, etc.

Thats is what thought too, but it couldn't hurt to post the output log...

I reran emerge kdebase and hand-copied the error message.

First of all, when I rebooted, i noticed an error, 3 to be exact.

You have no network connection. You will have to resolve that problem first. Did you compile support for your network card into the kernel or load it as a module?

I had thought about that, but the thing that was heading me toward a different direction was when I emerged kde-meta, the first dependency was compiled, but the second aborted/failed. Perhaps the first was already built for some other package. :oops:

Now that I think about it, I am behind a router/firewall, which might be causing me issues as well. :oops:

, again.

I will investigate that and post accordingly, thanks again. I'll just ping something...Google perhaps. One simple question though, the command to ping something is simply ping www.google.com, but that continuously pings the web page, what would the command be to ping say 10 times. Is it just ping -c 10 www.google.com?

Yes, that command should ping google 10 times. Usually I just stop ping with Ctrl-C though B-)
