I've discovered that a parallel (-j2+) build of kdebase silently fails by installing incorrect libraries. The kio_smb libraries specifically. My gentoo box is current as of mid July '03 and emerging kdebase with -j4 will install the kio_smb.so from kio/smb/ instead of kio_smb.so from kio/smbro/ this causes the smbmount action from tools to fail when attempting to mount the current share from konqueror. I've not done serious investigation to find if other libraries are also affected. Without reverting to a single threaded make, an 'ebuild kdebase-3.1.2 merge' followed by manually copying the kio_smb.so lib from kio/smbro/ to the correct location allows smbmount to work again.
Were you using distcc?
Not using distcc. Just standard '-j4' in make.conf followed by an emerge kdebase. I've tested this on two machines with the same results both times.
Yikes. May want to file a bug on bugs.kde.org? We don't do any magic with the samba stuff, so it sounds like something is getting built out of order during the make. Of course, they may end up passing the buck back to us. <shrug>
I will probably wait until kde 3.1.3 hits stable in portage and see if the problem still persists.
Just updated kde to kde-3.1.3 and the problem is fixed. I think this was most likely a problem with the core KDE stuff, and nothing Gentoo specific. As I posted this originally, and it now "works for me", I think this bug can be closed.
