First, no criticism of Gentoo's hardworking devs intended or implied. |

I thought I'ld try GCC 4.1.1, Glibc 2.4 & update to KDE 3.5.3 . |
| 4 |
They're all still "testing", but we do have some responsibility to test, |
| 5 |
& they've been there for a while without reports of painful experiences. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Having dealt with GCC & Glibc according to the docs, |
| 8 |
I tried to compile Kdelibs 3.5.3 & got a long series of "can't find" msgs |
| 9 |
followed by failure: there are a number of similar reports in the Forum. |
| 10 |
Flameyes seems to give the authoritative response at Forum 060602 0917 : |

Following this advice, I unmerged the previous Kdelibs |
| 14 |
& tried again with the same result. A bit more poking around |
| 15 |
& I decided the best course was to return to the original state of affairs |
| 16 |
& restore GCC 3.4.5, Glibc 2.3 & KDE 3.5.2 . However when I did, |
| 17 |
Kdelibs 3.5.2-r6 failed with the same error ! So recompile everything again |
| 18 |
to try to make sure they were all in sync: same bad result ! |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Being experienced, I had made a quick-package of Kdelibs 3.5.2 , |
| 21 |
which I now tried to re-install via 'emerge -K': it refused, |
| 22 |
demanding Qt 3.3.6 -- no longer in Portage -- , where I had 3.3.6-r1 . |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Finally, I tried 'emerge -K --nodeps =kdelibs-3.5.2-r6', which worked ! |
| 25 |
I've rebooted & restarted KDE & all seems to be back to normal. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
However, something is still not right with GCC 4.1.1, Glibc 4.2 & KDE 3.5.3 . |
| 28 |
There was a recent request on Gentoo Dev for people to test things |
| 29 |
prior to stabilising these items for the next profile, so I HTH (smile). |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Anyone else have experiences to share ? Any known-to-work solution ? |
