'which kb3' doen't find it in /usr/share/e16usr/bin [Solved]

[joe3]

I've reciently upgraded to Sabayon4.2 (Kde) And installed e16 along with several items I personaly need...

sys-apps/portage-2.2_rc33 didn't even hicup on a single block. Don't know if that's just because I'm no longer trying to work with sabayon3.5, or if the latest portage really makes it easier. So far I've only one real issue:

I was pretty sure I had made sure that k3b was installed before I bothered adding/configuring e16, but when I tried to use it (bash: k3b: command not found) So I figgured I gooffed...

'emerge k3b' said it was doing a reinstall... And it commpleted without error. But I still don't have an k3b command...

Code: Select all

UnderTree =-> which k3b
which: no k3b in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin)
UnderTree =-> emerge -s k3b
Searching...

UnderTree =->

So I'm not sure if the emerge failed to insert the command in the path or what. All I know is that I have no idea how to fix it. Unless, since emerge didn't report any problems, I'm thinking all I need to do is create a sym-link:

"ln -s ${UNKNOWNtarget} /usr/bin/kb3"

But I don't have a clue what to link it to...

Thanks

depends if you have kdeprefix or not...

Code: Select all

Hmmnnn Seams emerge was smart in a dumb sort of way...

I guess it detected that I installed e16... Thanks to your hint about using the equery thingy I discovered the command "k3b" was the only thing in:
/usr/share/e16usr/bin
Had k3b been an e16 specific tool I might have thought to look there... But in any case now that I've added /usr/share/e16usr/bin
to the path definitions in /etc/profile, I shouldn't have any more problem with initializeing k3b.

But speaking of which, When I fired it up, it complained about not having some mp3 decoder plugin, and recomended installing both the libmad & the "K3b Mad Mp3 decoder plugin...

But If I'm correctly grokking the output of eix k3b, then mad was one of the use flags, And when I do an "eix mad"
it says I've got both libmad and the only "plugin" in the list...

This is probably not that important as I havent been playing with mp3's... (YET!)
But I'd like to know what plugin k3b needs for it???

PS: what's kdeprefix??????????

[Fitzcarraldo]

PS: what's kdeprefix??????????

It's a USE flag for Portage. From Gentoo Linux Use Variable Descriptions:

Makes a KDE prefixed install into /usr/kde/${SLOT} if enabled or into /usr (FHS compatible) otherwise

From Gentoo KDE Guide:

KDE 3.5 uses ~/.kde and the default FHS (-kdeprefix) KDE 4.X uses ~/.kde4. If you install KDE 4.1 using the kdeprefix USE flag then the configuration directory will default to ~/.kde4.1, for KDE 4.2 it will be ~/.kde4.2 and so on. The advantage of this is that KDE 3.5 and 4.X can be run from the same user account without clobbering settings. Moving backwards in version, i.e. 4.X to 3.5, is not supported.

FHS = "File system Hierarchy Standard" (see 1.c. File System Locations in the Gentoo Handbook, Chapter 1 Ebuild HOWTO).
