Description Daniele C. 2007-11-08 14:11:13 UTC

It is currently uneasy to have interoperability on Gentoo Linux + Kexi. Other distros do have packages for keximdb driver.

The source can be found at:

ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/koffice-latest/src

I am currently manually installing it

Comment 1 Daniele C. 2007-11-08 14:35:24 UTC

keximdb does not even configure if mcopidl is not available.

I have added the following to /etc/portage/package.use

kde-base/arts -alsa -artswrappersuid -debug -elibc_FreeBSD -esd -jack kdeenablefinal -mp3 -nas -vorbis -xinerama

And then performed:

emerge kde-base/arts

It's a pity that mcopidl is found in the 'arts' package, which is a sound daemon!
I don't like the idea of needing installtion of a sound daemon to enable Kexi MDB driver; maybe another package split is needed?
