I got marble running on box 1, but on box 2 it would not start. The terminal didn't output anything, no error-message and nothing and it would not return to the prompt either, but marble would not start. On box 1 though it starts just fine. So I started going through the packages marble depends on and checked their useflags. I found that the iconv use-flag in qt-core was set on box 1 (where marble was working) but it was *not* set on box 2, where marble wasn't working. So I enabled the use-flag and recompiled qt-core. After that, marble started fine. To make sure that's the cause, I recompiled qt-core on box 1 with iconv disabled. Afterwards, marble didn't start there. So I'm pretty sure that's the cause of the problem. I guess marble should enforce the iconv use-flag to be set in qt-core.

I tried some combinations of use flags on qt-core...

Is there some additional information I can provide that would help?
Try to run revdep-rebuild.
