During an emerge of certmanager or kontact I get the following error message: grep: /usr/lib64/libXi.la: No such file or directory /bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib64/libXi.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/\usr/lib64/libXi.la' is not a valid libtool archive make[3]: *** [libkpinterfaces.la] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kontact-3.5.2/work/kontact-3.5.2/ko ntact/interfaces' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kontact-3.5.2/work/kontact-3.5.2/ko ntact' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kontact-3.5.2/work/kontact-3.5.2' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if rel evant. If I check, indeed there is no libXi.la file (libXi.so, libXi.a, etc. are present). I am running X.org 6.8.2-r6 and KDE 3.5.2. I've searched the web and have not found anything indicating how to recreate this file or what dependency might be missing.

do a grep on other .la files already on your system for libXi. One of those is the culprit.
try this.. locate \.la | xargs grep -l libXi.la | while read FILE ; do /usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-0.2.2/deprecated/qpkg/qpkg -nc -f $FILE ; done | sort | uniq | sed -e 's/\ \*//' | xargs emerge -pCv That will show you all the packages you should unmerge or re-emerge. Myself, I got into this pickle by downgrading from modular X to xorg-x11-6.8.2. You might run into the same issues with libX11.la and others .la files too.
*** Bug 137618 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
no response. It looks like you uninstalled/upgraded libXi at some point and the referring .la files are confused. A fix_libtool_files should help, as does the comments above.
