This is *not* an installer bug. From the log, it was compiling kde for 23 hours before it failed. The error will be in the "Output" tab of the installer and the file /tmp/compile_output.log in the new install.

It would have been nice to announce this before the release, not leaving your co-developers in the dark. Why is the information not printed, btw.? Not being very interested in the GLI, I have no idea what to ask for seeing such a GLI output. Stupac: Please attach the log.
Created attachment 81659 [details] tail end of /tmp/compile_output.log Had trouble uploading the entire raw log (65,487 bytes), I compressed it in a rar file (2.55Mb) for easy transfer, but the server won't allow uploading of files larger than 1Mb except for patches. I've just uploaded the tail end of the log (782 bytes), it contains the final error message, hope it's enough. If not let me know what I can do.

output of "emerge -p kdesu" These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] kde-base/kdesu-3.4.1
Sorry, that neither me nor anyone else responded timely. We're simply understaffed. Hopefully you managed to get Gentoo installed, otherwise you may be interested in the upcoming 2006.1 release. As for the problem it looks like you tried to install a split KDE package, while having the monolithic counterpart installed already. See also http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-split-ebuilds.xml Resolving as fixed - just very late.
