[gobolinux-users] KDE 4 install problems

[Hi There]

I've been trying to install KDE 4 since last night. I don't think too many other people have tried it out, so hopefully my trials and tribulations help smooth the installation out for others.

Here are the problems I've encountered, newest ones first:

KDE-Utils fails during SandboxInstall with the following error:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/Programs/KDE-Utils/4.0.0/share/dbus-1/interfaces/org.kde.KWallet.xml', needed by `kwallet/kwallet_interface.cpp'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [kwallet/CMakeFiles/kwalletmanager.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

KDE-Base (or something in its dependecies) asks if I want to remove or keep it twice in a row during the PrepareProgram step. I answered keep twice. SymlinkProgram later went into an infinite loop when "Creating expanded directory" - it kept recreating the same list of directories over and over.

KDE-Libs requires shared-mime-info, which depends upon Perl having XML::Parser installed. Not sure how this should be handled in a recipe, but Compile fails until you install XML::Parser (which itself pulls in a whole slew of other perl modules).

KDE-Libs dependency Soprano needs cmake and qmake to compile. I think all of the new KDE packages need these too. qmake is found in Qt 4, which currently isn't listed as a dependency (neither is cmake).

In general, these packages pull in a lot of depencies and take a lot of time to compile... I see conflicting symlink warnings in red every now and then, but can't really keep track of which packages generate the warning, and I'm definitely missing some. Is there a way to tell Compile to SymlinkProgram -f when installing? Compile's help doesn't show that as an option.


If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix these problems (esp. the first two) I'm all ears   

;)
