I do not have KDE emerged, but I am using kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.6-r7 for programs like ktechlab. kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.6-r7 is depending on kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi-0.1.2 because I set the avahi use flag system wide. kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi-0.1.2 will not build because net-dns/avahi-0.6.18 was not built with the qt3 use flag. There is two workarounds: Put "kde-base/kdelibs -avahi" in /etc/portage/package.use or Put "net-dns/avahi qt3" in /etc/portage/package.use Should I just use the workaround or is there something that can be done with one of the ebuilds so I don't have to manually set use flags per packages.

How did you get the following output? ----------------------------------------------------------- kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi-0.1.2 error during ./configure: checking for avahi-qt3 >= 0.4 ... Package avahi-qt3 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `avahi-qt3.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'avahi-qt3' found configure: error: Library requirements ( avahi-qt3 >= 0.4 , avahi-client >= 0.4 ) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. ----------------------------------------------------------- Were you using emerge or ebuild? If the latter, where is the bug? This is not a support channel, for that you should use the IRC channels, start on #gentoo, or the forums.

Package avahi-qt3 was not found in the > pkg-config search path. As was mentioned in the bug description, by building avahi with USE="-qt3". The ebuild for kdnssd-avahi has a built_with_use check. This check is never executed, because it's in pkg_config instead of pkg_setup.
Fixed the check. That was it!?
The rest of this bug is (assuming I'm not misreading) a request to do something so that flags do not have to manually be set on a per-package basis, which is something that unfortunately cannot be done properly until portage supports use-based dependencies (bug #2272). So, at this time, if the check is fixed so that a useful error message is given, that's probably all that can be done, unless you can think of an alternative solution.

Curtis, sorry for having jumped on you.

I am a novice with ebuilds, but I am learning.
O.k. assuminfg everything is fine now. Otherwise reopen, please.
