Did you try emailing the kde-lite maintainer?

kde-lite is nothing more than a metaport that installs other KDE ports. It is not a watered down or lightweight version of KDE.

My favorite way to install KDE is to forget about the metaports and go directly for the main ports themselves.

First make sure your ports tree is up-to-date.
Then update the ports you already have installed so that the KDE ports have up-to-date dependencies.
Then install x11/kdelibs3
Then install x11/kdebase3

After kdebase is installed, you will at least have a basic KDE desktop up and running. Then you can install whatever other KDE ports you want at your leisure. Hasn't failed me yet.

thx, but if I try:

# portupgrade -fRr x11/kdelibs3

then I get the following:

/usr/local/bin/perl -pe "s,tr2i18n( \"\" ),QString::null,g" kshortcutdialog_simple.cpp.temp | /usr/local/bin/perl -pe "s,tr2i18n( \"\"\, \"\" ),QString::null,g" | /usr/local/bin/perl -pe "s,image([0-9][0-9]*)_data,img\$1_kshortcutdialog_simple,g" | /usr/local/bin/perl -pe "s,: QWizard\(,: KWizard(,g" >> kshortcutdialog_simple.cpp ;\
        rm -f kshortcutdialog_simple.cpp.temp ;\
        if test "$ret" = 0; then echo '#include "kshortcutdialog_simple.moc"' >> kshortcutdialog_simple.cpp; else rm -f kshortcutdia
Mutex unlock failure: Operation not permitted

and the installation hangs with this message.

Please post the output of:
$ ls -l /lib/libthr* /usr/lib/libpthr*

It looks like you have a threading library issue that might have happend when you upgrade to 7.0.

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  <<<<<<< current       8 Mar 10 20:38 /usr/lib/libpthread.a -> libthr.a

You don't have a symlink for libpthread.so.

# cd /usr/lib
# ln -sf /lib/libthr.so.3 libthr.so
# ln -sf libthr.so libpthread.so

The safest thing to do after that would be to rebuild all of your ports.

thanks a lot, but how is the best way to rebuild all of ports ?
you mean:

# portupgrade -af

[BSDKaffee]

It depends on how many ports and which ports are already installed. But since you are upgrading to 7.0 from 6.3, probably the best thing to do is deinstall as many ports as possible, if not all, then start fresh. You probably would have had to do this anyway because of the gettext update, so it is not much of a loss.

I wouldn't recommend portupgrade -af because portupgrade itself and its dependencies would need updated first. Plus if any port fails to build, you will have trouble figuring out where it failed and where to pickup where it left off.


I made a mistake in the simlink I gave you before. Do this instead:

# cd /usr/lib
# ln -sf /lib/libthr.so.3 libthr.so
# ln -sf libthr.so libpthread.so

thx a lot !

it helps, now I can install kde-lite without problems.
