i just instaled gentoo linux (1.1a with the old gcc) on a new machine; when i try emerge xfree-4.2 (r9 or r11) the build fails claiming missing files; it seems that when the building it is supposed to be finishing some files are deleted before they should

) any hints ?

thanks in advance

when doing a "emerge kde" I'm having the same problem. anyone have any ideas?

edit: compiling it again, I'll copy over the error message when its done.

Have you done an emerge rsync or changed your server name in make.conf since they changed over. If your compiling kde you might be having a problem with the qt3--I'm having that problem right now but i can't fix it either

I've had the exact same problem two or three times now. It's always something different that it can't find.

Everytime I just <code>emerge kde</code> again and the problem goes away for the particular package. I think I had trouble with x11-base, qt, and something else. One was make saying that install was an invalid target, and another was that libtool.so.conf could not be found (or something like that).

Hi, i solved this by emerging first an older XFree version (4.1) and then emerging the later ones (and unmerging the 4.1 in the end)

Hope this helps
