It seems to me there is a bug when emerging kdelibs with arts flag. When I did "revdep-rebuild" it complained that kdelibs is missing arts flag, so I did emerge kdelibs with arts and "kdm" login screen disappeared; instead I got a command line login prompt with an error message: which: no kdm in (/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.4.6:/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/bin:/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/jre/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin) * Setting up xdm ... /sbin/start-stop-daemon: stat /usr/bin/xdm: No such file or directory * ERROR: could not start the Display Manager... It seems to me that emerging kdelibs with arts on amd64 removes the file: /etc/env.d/45kdepaths-3.5 So the kdm can not be mound. Emerging kdelibs without arts puts this file back, so kdm login works as it suppose to. #Joseph Portage 2.1-r1 (default-linux/amd64/2005.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.6.15-gentoo-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.15-gentoo-r4 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.15 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.3 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -pipe -O2" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -pipe -O2" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo ftp://mirror.iawnet.sandia.gov/pub/gentoo/ ftp://sunsite.ualberta.ca/pub/unix/Linux/gentoo/ rsync://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gentoo/ rsync://planetmirror.com/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X acl alsa apache2 avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr cgi cli crypt cups dlloader dri dvd eds emboss encode fam foomaticdb fortran gif gimp gimpprint gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib ipv6 isdnlog java jpeg kde lzw lzw-tiff mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls ogg opengl pam pcre pdflib perl png ppds pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection scanner sdl session spell spl ssl tcpd tiff truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb vorbis xorg xpm xv zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kernel_linux userland_GNU video_cards_nv video_cards_tdfx video_cards_vesa video_cards_fbdev" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
