Been there. Done that. It falls over with an internal GCC error (this is
not uncommon, but in this case the writers of the makefile have helpfully
redirected the output of the compile to /dev/null, so you don't see what
happens unless you dig!)

I hacked the makefile in the directory concerned to stop it from using the
optimiser (remove -O flag) and rebuilt.

Talking of KDE: does anybody know what kcminput is supposed to do? It
dumps core every time I log in. Things seem to work okay anyway!
