Hello,

Some times ago I noticed that some applications are very slow after I
start them they read from disk constanly and generally they cause
congestion of my X-server.
I dont use KDE so It took me some time to figure out that all are kde
applications: Umbrello, Kdevelop, Konqueror.

I tried to emerge KDE but it fails during kdemultimedia emerging.
Error is from linker that there is undefined reference to typeinfo for
MusicBrainz.

I looked for the error in forums but there is no solution.
I reemerged musicbrainz tried mask kdemultimedia and also emerge
kdemultimedia with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" and all compilation failing due
to this error.

my flags are
CFLAGS="-mcpu=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -s -mfpmath=sse -msse2
-mmmx"
CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-rtti
-mfpmath=sse -msse2 -mmmx"

USE="3dnow acpi acpi4linux apache2 art curl flash gd gtkhtml icc \
kadu-modules mmx moznocompose moznoirc moznomail moznoxft mpeg4 samba \
sse tiff usb vim-with-x xml"

Moreover when i try to emerge -upv kde
for kde entry i get incomplete/bad digest message

What should I do now?

How much memory does your machine have?

Exact copies of error messages are helpful. The Devil is in the details.

Is there a specific reason your CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS are different?
That is, do you really know what these flags do? If you do, you know
more than I do ;o)

As above -- an exact copy of the error message would be helpful.

In general, I see such error messages after an unsuccessful
download of some source file, and when I delete the corrupted
file from /usr/portage/distfiles and try again I get better
results the second time.

I deleted kdemultimedia from working directory and cannot give exact
error, because three hours of compilation must pass :-)

It happens here (I know because I wanted to compile it myself, so I have
this command in history)

/bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=CXX g++ -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBU
G -O2 -mcpu=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=sse -msse2

And the error is: undefined reference to typeinfo for MusicBrainz
i dont remember line number, but error is from linker.

This flags are from some generator, I know more less what they mean,
they are different because CXXFLAGS has flags which have no use in C.

I think it can be those flags omit-frame-pointer no-rtti
to cause this, and read somewhere that -O2 causes error like this but I
looked in the ebuild that it removes -O2 flag,
eventhough libtool is called with -O2 flag so I try to recompile
musicbrainz also without those flags and see.

Yes I know, but this is from emerge -upv, there is no file on the disc!
It tells about kde which is installed in the system.

So any ideas now?

So anyway, it was like, 08:21 CEST May 01 2004, you know? Oh, and, yeah,
Marek Defeciñski was all like, "Dude,

At least this one is nothing to worry about, the kde ebuild is just
a "wrapper" of sorts to merge all of the kde packages, so it doesn't
actually have any downloads of its own. Take a look at the ebuild
itself, and you'll see what I mean.

I have found, that revdep-rebuild helps. It scans the depencies backwards. I
guess this means that when you normally emerge -u, it checks what versions
will be needed from the package and other packages. revdep-rebuild checks
what packages you have, and what versions they need the other packages to be.

It might be that you have to run revdep-rebuild some times and remove wrong
packages, but it is worth the trouble.
