*******************************************************************************

After investigating the problem I have found that this "missing" declarations
are in ./popt/popt.h" yet the ebuild file summarily dels the folder:
rm -rf ${S}/popt

I commented the line in the ebuild file, however this is only half the problem.
 The offending file ./rpmdb/dbconfig.c fails in include the header and I did not
find it to be included from within another include (which would have coused an
error anyway as it doesn't exist).

Is there a way to alter the dbconfig.c file to include the header and then run
emerge?  Emerge unpacks the downloaded package each time and I cant fool it by
editing and repacking as this will fail the checksum test......help.....?

Ah PS....found this problem as I was try to upate KDE 3.0 => 3.0.2 Thanks!!

emerge popt, and see if that works, please

it doesnt build for me either. Im doing a fresh first-time-ever install of 
Gentoo. Tried getting the X and KDE up and rpm was a dependancy. These are the 
messages I get:

Also posted on the forums here:

the -r3 version of the rpm ebuild should take care of Balaji's problem anyway.

As for Jason,  did it get sorted when you emerged popt?
