when trying to install kde 3.2 the process fails while trying to install kdeedu-3.2. It produces the following error: g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../libkdeedu/kdeeducore -I/usr/kde/3.2/include -I/usr/qt/3/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -O2 -mcpu=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -ffast-math -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -msse -mfpmath=sse,387 -mmmx -m3dnow -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -c -o flashkard.o `test -f 'flashkard.cpp' || echo './'`flashkard.cpp /bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=CXX g++ -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -O2 -mcpu=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -ffast-math -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -msse -mfpmath=sse,387 -mmmx -m3dnow -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -o flashkard -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/qt/3/lib -L/usr/kde/3.2/lib -R /usr/kde/3.2/lib -R /usr/qt/3/lib -R /usr/X11R6/lib xmlwriter.o card.o flashcardswidget.o guesswidget.o quizwidget.o datawidget.o flashkard.o main.o -lkio ../../libkdeedu/kdeeducore/libkdeeducore.la g++: /usr/local/lib/libfam.so: No such file or directory make[4]: *** [flashkard] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdeedu-3.2.0/work/kdeedu-3.2.0/flashkard/flashkard' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdeedu-3.2.0/work/kdeedu-3.2.0/flashkard/flashkard' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdeedu-3.2.0/work/kdeedu-3.2.0/flashkard' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdeedu-3.2.0/work/kdeedu-3.2.0' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

It seems to expect the fam libs to be in /usr/local/lib when they are actually in /usr/lib. /etc/ld.so.conf shows the following: cat /etc/ld.so.conf # ld.so.conf autogenerated by env-update; make all changes to # contents of /etc/env.d directory /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/i386/ /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/i386/classic/ /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/i386/native_threads/ /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/games/lib /usr/kde/3.1/lib /usr/kde/3.2/lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.3 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2 /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/qt/3/lib System details: uname -a Linux master 2.4.22-gentoo-r4 #1 Tue Jan 13 20:52:51 GMT 2004 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux qpkg -v -I fam app-admin/fam-2.7.0 * qpkg -v -I portage app-portage/gentoolkit-0.1.38 * app-portage/mirrorselect-0.82-r2 * sys-apps/portage-2.0.50-r1 * This is my first bug report submit. So apologies if I have missed any useful information that you may need. If I have then please just ask.
Try re-emerging fam and seeing if that fixes this bug.
Did the suggestion in the previous comment solve the problem?
No comment, assuming it's a local problem caused by gcc upgrade.
