Description Mark Guertin 2002-05-24 08:50:41 UTC

I have tried both qt-3.0.4 and qt-3.0.4.1 ebuilds, both cause major slowdowns on
gentoo-ppc. Basically when launching any qt based application you can wait
(depending on your machine speed) from 30 seconds to 2 minutes for initial
application launch.  After that they perform perfectly, but seems to take
forever to initialize.  Makes kde3 mostly unusable. 

Reverting back to the last qt-3.0.3 ebuild restores proper speed, apps launch
immediately.

This also seems to cause problems trying to compile newest KDE, users have
reported that artsd complains about not being able to install qt (didn't happen
with me), but it seems that the ebuild is trying to specifially pull qt-3.0.4.1

This has been fixed by the (still masked for testing) qt-3.0.4.20020606.ebuild
from a recent cvs snapshot
