hi, thanks all (especially lauri) for ur help but can anyone give me a hint a= bout what is the best way on installing the new ports in freebsd 4.5 cause= it ships only with kde 2.2.2 and i didn't updated the ports yet... some o= f the questions might be silly or simle for a lot of u... so i'm hoping th= at u won't be laghing at me ;-) =091. i have previously copied all of the kde 3.0 tarballs (.tgz) from a = mirror ftp (as lauri asked me) and copied them on a CD, what should i do t= o make them work=3F i don't know how to update ports, any hints, docs for = this update would be highly appreciated =092. i noticed during the installation that i need to run "ldconfig -m .= ..." so that shared library contains the qt and after a reboot every thing= i did is lost. how can i include all my shared libraries on system boot=3F= =093. i use the bash shell and i configured in the .profile to include so= me PATH directory and every thing goes well logging in as simple user but = when i "su" no more additionnal path is seen! one last thing, please cc me cause i'm not in the list -----Original Message----- From: Lauri Watts [mailto:lauri@kde.org] Sent: jeudi 20 juin 2002 21:43 To: Faissal ABDALLAH Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: kde 3.0 wo'nt start on FreeBSD 4.5 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Thursday 20 June 2002 21.47, Faissal ABDALLAH wrote: > Hi list, > I=92m actually trying to intall KDE 3.0 from source packages on a FreeB= SD 4.5 > machine.... i followed the instructions word by word lettre by lettre a= nd > after lots and lots of problems and incompatibility i managed to instal= l > the qt 3.0.4 and the autoconf etc... and all necessary packages for the= KDE It's quite clear you didn't follow the FreeBSD instructions, because Qt 3= .0.4 is not in the ports (and that is for a reason - it has issues.) I suggest you uninstall all that you have below, put the source tarballs = you have collected into /usr/ports/distfiles/KDE (so that the ports can find = them), and then install the kde ports themselves. If you have sufficient bandwidth, you can use the packages (I'm not sure = they are ready yet on the FreeBSD ftp servers, but you can find a set of packa= ges and the instructions at http://freebsd.kde.org.) The ports exist for a reason - among other things, they have patches to m= ake applications conform to FreeBSD's file system organization, to adjust the= environment, and are a configuration we know to work on the majority of systems. It's very difficult to support self-compilation, because there = is just too much in your environment and in your compilation options that co= uld be affecting this. - From a look at your log, it seems KDE starts up correctly, and then som= e of the applications hit an issue with threads. I suggest you see if the pro= blem persists with an installation from the ports, but I suspect it won't, the= y have been heavily tested, and I've never seen your particular error befor= e.
