Trying to compile kdebase, it doesn't get very far and then aborts with a libfontconfig error. I have tried re-emerging both fontconfig and freetype with no luck. Interestingly, if I try to emerge kdebase without fontconfig installed, emerge does not try to install fontconfig first, it just goes right into kdebase. configure in kdebase then fails complaining that QT is not installed! fontconfig installed is 2.2.1. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge kdebase 2. wait for it to fail 3.

I discovered the problem. A year-old version of libfontconfig was in /usr/X11R6/lib. There probably was a previous bug that didn't correctly remove these old files. Deleted them, now kdebase is okay.
