KDE ebuilds fail as described in post 6 of this thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=21209&highlight=kde3+1rc2 Building all of kdelibs manually, and then "make install" of only the manually built kdoctools resolves the issue, also as described in the thread. So that suggests that the ebuild of kdelibs (and thus kdoctools) is bad (since a manually compiled kdoctools resolves the issue, but takes hours to do). Bug occurs in the rc1, rc2, and rc3 ebuilds so far of KDE 3.1.
this should be resolved with current kdelibs-ebuild, it was a bad libxml2, now kdelibs depend on libxml2-2.4.24, which works. please test the new ebuilds (which should be in portage now).

does emerge libxml2-2.4.24 and emerge kdelibs work for you? then we could close this bug.
