Bug 33236 – KDE can no start due to missing libraries

• Product: Gentoo Release Media
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Adam Pribyl 2003-11-11 09:33:28 UTC]

After most common Gentoo 1.4 GRP install (Means unpack stage3, emerge xfree,
emerge kde) it is not possible to start KDE, because some libraries are missing.

Mainly it is
libart_lgpl_2
libfam

For details see forums.gentoo.org where is a lot of complaints about this
(search libart or libfam).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try GRP install
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
KDE can not be started with "startkde"

Expected Results:  
KDE should start smoothly.

I can not - gentoo is still not fully running.

Did you do an "emerge sync" first, before trying to emerge kde?  This will
bring your portage tree up to date, and give you the latest versions of everything.

[Comment 2 Adam Pribyl 2003-11-11 12:03:03 UTC]

GRP install is about OFFLINE instalation. The portage tree is on CD1. There
is explicitly writen in install.html that you do not have to do emerge sync.
That's the nature of GRP install, if I understand it correctly.

Ok, I'll let drobbins work on this one then, but, FWIW, KDE 3.1.3, which
is the kde version on 1.4 version of gentoo doesn't not have these depdendencies
listed.  It was fixed in 3.1.4 and above, though most people typically have
libart and libfam emerged via other means, which is why it's probably not
more widespread.

Hm. OK. I am reporting it as GRP failure. It is extremely annoying for those
who hardly downloaded CD images (I know network installation is prefered..),
and then install gets into troubles like this. Therefore next iso release
should be fixed and probably better tested in this way...

This was also reported by me as [url=http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29223]Bug# 29223[/url] on the 20/9/2003. Some more info there.

I was searching trough database but without luck... Then I am marking this one as duplicate.

I apologise for this bugspam, but I wish to close this product, so I need to
move all the bugs.
