10 I did:
11
12 ps aux | grep kmix
13 root 31977 0.0 0.0 6184 576 pts/2 S+ 11:19
14 0:00 grep --colour=auto
15
16 All that is(was) running was the grep process...
17
18 I think I found the problem, but need a little guidance.
19
20 All prepared. Starting rebuild
21 emerge --oneshot --pretend --with-bdeps y app-editors/xemacs:0
22 app-office/akonadi-server:0
23 app-text/libspectre:0
24 dev-db/libdbi-drivers:0
25 dev-lang/php:5.3
26 dev-libs/apr-util:1
27 dev-libs/cyrus-sasl:2
28 dev-libs/redland:0
29 kde-base/nepomuk:4.4
30 media-gfx/imagemagick:0
31 x11-libs/qt-sql:4
32
33 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
34
35 Calculating dependencies... done!
36
37 emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to
38 satisfy ">=kde-base/kdelibs-4.4.
39 5[aqua=,-kdeprefix,semantic-desktop]"
40
41
42 One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
43 kde-base/kdelibs-4.4.5-r2 (Change USE: +semantic-desktop)
44 (dependency required by "kde-base/nepomuk-4.4.5" [ebuild])
45 (dependency required by "kde-base/nepomuk:4.4" [argument])
46
47
48 Obviously I can do what it is advising me to do: add
49 semantic-desktop to the USE flag in either the make.conf file
50 or per package in packeage.use........... or such.
51
52 What are the caveats of semantic-desktop and nepomuk?
53 Can I just delete these and go my merry way, or
54 where should I read up on these kde4 (pillar) requirements?
55
56
57 Googling, I found this thread:
58 http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-799299-start-0.html
59
60 Code:
61 echo ">=kde-base/kdelibs-4.4.0 semantic-desktop" >> /
62 etc/portage/package.use
63
64 I'm now running kde-4.4 and everything seems fine. My understanding
65 of what I've done is that kdelibs is now set up to support any
66 application which thinks it wants semantic-desktop on while all those
67 applications with optional support for semantic-desktop know not to use
68 semantic-desktop.
69
70
71 Guidance and suggestions are warranted, methinks....
