Can't install KDE or GNOME from pacman

When I try to install KDE or GNOME from pacman, the system downloads most or all of the files, from what I can see, and then returns a bunch of errors of the form "gcc-libs: /usr/lib/libssp.so exists in filesystem". I'd post the entirety of the messages, but I can't figure out how to pipe output from pacman without making it impossible to enter "yes" at the install prompt. This problem occurs with both kde and gnome, and from what I can tell it looks like basically the same set of errors with either one.

Most of the time, install errors report  "exists in filesystem" this means you have them in cache.  You can clear the cache or use the "f" force command in pacman.

Re: Can't install KDE or GNOME from pacman

What does "pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libssp.so" say?  It should say gcc-libs and not gcc.  I'm guessing you have just installed.  Have you done a "pacman -Syu"?  The gcc package was split into gcc and gcc-libs.

In fact it looks remarkably similar to this" http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=37690   smile
