Hi all,

I rellay hope this is the place to post these. I'm compiling knetwork
3.4.1 on Gentoo and I get the following error. I doubt that this has
slipped through QA... any ideas as to what I should be looking at next?

I think that the error was a few lines earlier.  Look for 'no such file'
or 'file not found" or something like that.

There's no indication of any missing files. 'make' goes into the dir and
fails on a missing function/var. I have downloaded the package from one
of the kde sites and replaced the Gentoo one, still the same error.

It is much easier when a file is actually missing so that was my first
suggestion.

What is probably happening is that when it tries to compile:

interface_wireless_wirelessextensions.cpp

that something is missing from one of the includes.  That is, the
object: "iw_pr_ether" should be defined in one of the included header
files and it isn't.  My standard method is to Google for the name of the
missing object.

I think that this is in: iwlib.h.

Do you have some 'wireless' package installed?  Do you need it?


Ok, this happens to be a Gentoo related issue. I had the wifi flag on (wireless support), switching it off specifically for kdenetwork allowed it to compile.

That limits it to a library needed for wireless support.

I will post this to the Gentoo package mantainers.

Wireless is of importance to me since I have KDE installed on a laptop and I use 802.11 to connect to my ADSL modem.

It is probably some issue with a library.  Perhaps you need a newer version.
