During an emerge of licq-1.3.0-r6 (I'm updating it from 1.3.0-r3), the configure step of the Qt gui plug-in fails when it checks for the Qt libraries (note that it did happen also in version -r4 and -r5, but I though it would be quickly fixed) From what I see, it looks like it's looking for libqt-mt.so in /usr/qt/3/lib/ when it is in fact placed in /usr/qt/3/lib64/ The actual message (/var/tmp/portage/licq-1.3.0-r6/work/licq-1.3.0/plugins/qt-gui/config.log will be attached): checking for QT includes... /usr/qt/3/include checking for KDE includes... /usr/kde/3.4/include checking for QT libraries... no :-( configure: error: I can't find the QT libraries. It is recommended to set the QTDIR environment variable. Install the QT libraries, or if you have them installed, override this check with the --with-qt-libraries argument, and I'll take your word for it. Also, this might be completely unrelated, earlier in the Qt gui plug-in stage there seem to be an other error: *** Scanning for moc files Error: $(licq_gui) is listed in a _SOURCE line in src/Makefile.in, but doesn't exist yet.

taking it, but i can't reproduce it atm.
it looks like you're missing lib symlink in your qt installation. you should reemerge qt and try to merge licq once again.
I found the problem today. even after unmerging and remerging it didn't fix it. I re-unmerged it and noticed that /usr/qt/3/lib still existed. Containing files from package dev-python/qscintilla . I'm guessing that one of the earliest qt install I had used a real lib folder. Later I installed qscintilla which put files in qt's lib folder. When qt changed to symlink lib to lib64, I'm guessing that it failed to do the symlink due to the foreign files in the lib. I'm suggesting that future ebuild of qt checks, on amd64 arch, that lib is a symlink, and if it isn't, to perhaps move the files from lib to lib64 and make it a symlink.
that's not realted to licq in any way you should file new bug about this issue and assign it to amd64@gentoo.org
