I searched bugs and was hoping this would have been resolved, but I have yet to find a useful answer. 'emerge kde' seems to be kicking everyone's butt, no? Anyway, I don't know how to copy the error output and I have to reboot to get to windows (and a browser) so here is the error message that I can see on the screen (hand copied, so it might have an error): In file included from xftgram.y:29, from xftgram-kfi.c:23: xftint.h:392: parse error before `*' In file included from xftlex.l:27, from xftlex-kfi.c:23: xftint.h:392: parse error before `*' make[4]: *** [xftgram-kfi.lo] Error 1 make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[4]: *** [xftlex-kfi.lo] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdebase-3.0.4/work/kdebase-3.0.4/kcontrol/ kfontinst/kfontinst' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdebase-3.0.4/work/kdebase-3.0.4/kcontrol/ kfontinst' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdebase- 3.0.4/work/kdebase-3.0.4/kcontrol' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdebase-3.0.4/work/kdebase-3.0.4' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

Function kde_src_compile, Line -6648, Exitcode 2 !!! died running emake, kde_src_compile:make CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp" CXXFLAGS= -03 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" I've got an Athlon XP 1900+, 384 MB PC2100, 1GB Swap. I tried 'emerge -u --deep world' and I tried to unmerge freetype 2.1.2-r1 (recommended on a board) I've tried about 5 or 6 emerges with all the info from the forums, but none are working or are clear enough for a n00b like myself to 'get it.' To be honest, I'd be happy with emergeing KDE 3.0.3 if I knew how the heck to do that, but I don't. I have thought about trying to emerge from the Live UT2002 CD, but only see the kdebase in the manual. I know a lot of people have been having trouble. Hope you guys and gals have a solution soon.
