When I build vtk-5.0.0 with the qt3 and qt4 flags on, I notice during the cmake procedure that qt-4 will be used and apparently not qt-3. Is it supposed to be like this? emerge -pv vtk These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

In order to make this more apparent I have just added a brief warning to the ebuild that points this out to the user. The reasoning behind having a qt3 and qt4 use flag in the first place was to allow the user to select either qt4 or qt3 support rather than just defaulting to one of them or selecting the more recent one by default. That's at least what I personally prefer. I hope that answers your question (please comment/re-open if not) and I'll close this issue as invalid. Thanks, Markus
