When compiling kde (specifically kdebase-3.4.3-r1) on a new Gentoo install, I get this error: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../interfaces -I./../lib -I/usr/kde/3.4/include -I/usr/qt/3/include - FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscrip DEBUG -O2 -O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -fno-exceptions -fno- -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -D_GNU_SOURCE -c -o kate.la.o `test -f 'kate.la.cpp' || e /bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=CXX i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 char-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -O2 -O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -Wformat-security -Wmissing-forma eptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -D_ -R /usr/kde/3.4/lib -R /usr/qt/3/lib -R /usr/lib -no-undefined -L/usr/kde/3.4/lib -L/usr/qt/3/lib -L/usr/lib kate.la.o lib /usr/kde/3.4/lib/libkscript.so: undefined reference to `no symbol' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [kate] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdebase-3.4.3-r1/work/kdebase-3.4.3/kate/app' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdebase-3.4.3-r1/work/kdebase-3.4.3/kate' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdebase-3.4.3-r1/work/kdebase-3.4.3' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

Sorry, that no one had a look at your problem. We're simply understaffed. Resolution is to use KDE 3.5.
