I wanted to try kde3.2beta1 out on my ibook so i did $ cp R /usr/portage/kde-base/* /usr/local/portage/kde-base/ $ cd /usr/local/portage/kde-base/ && find . -type f -exec perl -pi -e 's/KEYWORDS="~x86"/BLE="~x86 ~ppc"/g' {} \; as well as unmasking kde3.2 in the world profile, which has it hard masked. I then emerged kde3.2 and got through arts and kdelibs before the compile failed ---------------------- /bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --mode=compile --tag=CXX g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../kdepasswd -I/usr/kde/3.2/include -I/usr/qt /3/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrit e-strings -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -O2 -mcpu=750 -O3 -pipe -Wfo rmat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_N O_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -c -o userinfo_chface.lo `test -f 'userinfo_chface.cpp' || echo './'`userinfo_chface.cpp userinfo_chface.cpp:31:29: konq_operations.h: No such file or directory distcc[32379] ERROR: compile on 192.168.1.25 failed make[4]: *** [userinfo_chface.lo] Error 1 make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... userinfo.cpp: In member function `void KUserInfoConfig::faceButtonDropEvent(QDropEvent*)': userinfo.cpp:217: warning: `download' is deprecated (declared at /usr/kde/3.2/include/kio/netaccess.h:115) make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdeutils-3.2.0_beta1/work/kdeutils-3.1.93/kdepasswd/userinfo' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdeutils-3.2.0_beta1/work/kdeutils-3.1.93/kdepasswd/userinfo' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdeutils-3.2.0_beta1/work/kdeutils-3.1.93/kdepasswd' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdeutils-3.2.0_beta1/work/kdeutils-3.1.93' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

YOu need to have kdebase emerged first, before kdeutils. This was just changed as a dependency in portage about 12 hours ago. make sure you're synced.
