Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.new gentoo install 2.emerge kde 3.emerge kdevelop Actual Results: The window with the error appears. I hit the OK button, and a kdevelop main window is created, that looks more like a simple/barebones editor than an IDE. Expected Results: To be able to run KDevelop and kbuildsycoca with errors ...if this works for someone else, and you use a similiar settup, plz give me your USE list and/or explain what im doing wrong..and please email me at payonel _at _ hotmail.com with your suggestions.
This is not a Developer Relations issue. Please file bugs under the "Gentoo Linux" product, not "Developer Relations" so that the bug wranglers receive this bug and send it to the correct place.
1) Log in to your system non-graphical (in the console) 2) You have to remove your dot kde folders the home directory for all users of KDE e.g.: rm -rf $HOME/.kde* 3) Afterwards you have to run (still in the console): export KDEDIRS=/usr:$KDEDIRS && kbuildsycoca 4) Now you can log in to kde again, and KDevelop works fine. PS: doing rm -rf $HOME/.kde* will destroy you KDE personalization. Regards Kim
Have you tried logging out and back in, or rebooting? You're probably just not picking up some of the necessary environment variables.
