If someone has an ASUS board, kbiff implements the ability to support the LEDs to flash them on and off if mail arrives. However the source code is poorly programmed and fails to compile if kbiff successfuly detected ASUS kernel support. On emerge it gives: /bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=compile --tag=CXX i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/kde/3.5/include -I/usr/qt/3/include -I. -I/usr/kde/3.5/include -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -pedantic -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -O2 -O2 -march=i686 -pipe -msse3 -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -c -o led.lo `test -f 'led.cpp' || echo './'`led.cpp /usr/qt/3/bin/moc ./setupdlg.h -o setupdlg.moc.cpp /usr/qt/3/bin/moc ./kbiffmonitor.h -o kbiffmonitor.moc.cpp /usr/qt/3/bin/moc ./kbiff.h -o kbiff.moc.cpp /usr/qt/3/bin/moc ./status.h -o status.moc.cpp /usr/qt/3/bin/moc ./notify.h -o notify.moc.cpp echo > dummy.cpp /bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=compile --tag=CXX i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/kde/3.5/include -I/usr/qt/3/include -I. -I/usr/kde/3.5/include -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -pedantic -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -O2 -O2 -march=i686 -pipe -msse3 -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -c -o setupdlg.moc.lo `test -f 'setupdlg.moc.cpp' || echo './'`setupdlg.moc.cpp led.cpp: In constructor 'Led::Led(const char*)': led.cpp:37: error: 'string' was not declared in this scope led.cpp:37: error: expected `;' before 'fname' led.cpp:39: error: expected type-specifier before 'ofstream' led.cpp:39: error: cannot convert 'int*' to 'std::ofstream*' in assignment led.cpp:39: error: expected `;' before 'ofstream' led.cpp:45: error: 'cerr' was not declared in this scope led.cpp: At global scope: led.cpp:35: warning: unused parameter 'ledname' make[3]: *** [led.lo] Error 1 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mail-client/kbiff-3.7.1/work/kbiff-3.7.1/kbiff' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mail-client/kbiff-3.7.1/work/kbiff-3.7.1/kbiff' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mail-client/kbiff-3.7.1/work/kbiff-3.7.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 Reproducible: Always Actual Results: It fails to compile.

Hi, I have the same error in my ASUS laptop. Please, submit the ebuild with the patch (from http://www.gentooforum.de/post/107312/emerge-kbiff.html#post107312) to check the solution. Thank you!

Done (Don't forget to invoke "ebuild /path/to/kbiff.ebuild manifest" do recreate the checksums) =)
This patch seems to be in kbiff-3.9. Now in portage.
