Unfortunately the installation fails while installing the kdelibs3 with the following error: ----------------Snip ---------------------------- I had a very similar error on 5.1 Current which I solved after a lot of trial and error, and of course emails to lists. There is good information on this on the FreeBSD@KDE page and the freebsd-ports mailing list. My email which is also posted to the ports mailing list follows: ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Success - KDE 3.2 running on FreeBSD 5.1 Current Date: Wednesday 11 February 2004 09:23 am I had some problems upgrading to KDE 3.2 that I was helped through by Michael Nottenbrock and the FreeBSD@KDE homepage (http://freebsd.kde.org/). As the homepage points out, there have been several changes to the structure of KDE to reach the 3.2 release so it is not as easy as doing a portupgrade -a to get everything up to date (and that's really not the best way to interrelated upgrades anyway). Here's what I had to do: Once you have updated your ports tree, you can portupgrade kde (the master port) to 3.2 without a problem. If you go beyond that, you will begin to have failures unless you follow a careful path... In serial fashion - meaning one at a time, not in parallel. Update the ports tree (!!) portupgrade -f XFree86-libraries portupgrade -f gmake portupgrade -f qt make deinstall kbase (in the kbase3 directory) portupgrade -f kdelibs Do a make install of kbase At the point where you have gotten through the upgrade/reinstall of qt you can start these tasks in another session in parallel: make deinstall kdenetwork (in the kdenetwork directory) either install or portupgrade -f kdepim make install kdenetwork (I did this in parallel with the upgrade of kdepim and had no problem) If you are doing this in sessions as a super user from X, logout of X and restart your X/KDE session. If you are doing this from the command line, no problem - you should now be able to start X and/or continue to update the rest of the KDE related ports. I had to use the "force" (-f) option in all of these because I had tried several approaches before I got this one to work. You may be able to stop using it once you have gotten past the forced upgrade of qt and a lot of this method depends on the state of your port tree when you start. But using the force won't change the fact that if the port needs an update it will be upgraded, if it doesn't it will be reinstalled. Either of those outcomes will solve the problems as long as you step through in the proper order.. If you have been playing around trying to get it work before you read this, you may have to do a portsclean -CDLP and then force a new port database (pkgdb -fu) to be put together before you do your last update to your ports tree. In any case, it can't hurt. After you have completed this series of upgrades and reinstalls, you can upgrade the rest of the KDE related ports. I tried to use the addons master port kdeaddons but it failed right away trying to upgrade atlanticdesigner (a game). I went around it and have been upgrading the other related ports without a problem. Why kdegames would upgrade and kdeaddons would halt in upgrading the kdegames I don't know. That's it!
