When I try and emerge twinkle 0.7 I find it aborts at the final link reporting that it cannot find libkdecore thus: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.6/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lkdecore Looking at the Makefile in /var/tmp/portage/twinkle-0.7/work/twinkle-0.7 I see it sets KDE_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/kde/3.2/lib instead of the correct value for my system which would be KDE_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/kde/3.5/lib
please attach /var/tmp/portage/twinkle-0.7/work/twinkle-0.7/config.log Does the same apply with 0.7.1?
It does for me: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.6/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lkdecore collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [twinkle] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/twinkle-0.7.1/work/twinkle-0.7.1/src/gui' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/twinkle-0.7.1/work/twinkle-0.7.1/src' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/twinkle-0.7.1/work/twinkle-0.7.1/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 !!!

note to self: 0.7.1 released I'll get to this shortly. Been a busy month.
This is a local problem for you. The Makefile is autogenerated from the connfigure script and in your case this seems to be detecting the old version. Have a look at: kde-config --version Try to run: env-update && source /etc/profile to ensure your environment is up to date. To check your libraries are correctly marked run: fix_libtool_files.sh If that does work read my instructions in comment #1 and I may be able to help. FYI I've added 0.8 too.
(In reply to comment #4) > Have a look at: kde-config --version kde-config --version returned KDE: 3.4.1 This turns out to be because root had /usr/kde/3.4/bin in the path. Fixing this and kde-config returns 3.5.2 as expected. Installation still tries to pick up kde 3.2 I also found a bunch of files in env.d that related to old versions of kde and deleted these. And finally, and probably the most relevant, in /etc/profile.csh setenv KDEDIR='/usr/kde/3.2' which I changed to 3.5. Twinkle then emerged fine. Thanks for your help.
