if one tries to compile kdevelop-2.1.5 it will fail at the configure stage, unless kdelibs have been installed by hand beforehand. the same goes for arts, but then again arts is a dependency of kdelibs and should be automatically installed once kdelibs has been added to the dependency list of kdevelop. I am aware that there has already been a discussion around about removing loads of dependencies from kdevelop, so there were probably too many dependencies removed. BTW: One can remove arts safely AFTER compiling kdevelop, it will still work (or I have yet to encounter problems) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: try on a system without kdelibs! 1. emerge kdevelop Actual Results: an error message, complaining about missing kde libraries: checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix! ... !!! ERROR: dev-util/kdevelop-2.1.5 failed. !!! Function kde_src_compile, Line 117, Exitcode 1 !!! died running ./configure, kde_src_compile:configure if kdelibs is installed, but arts isn't installed it will produce this message: configure: error: The important program mcopidl was not found!

kdevelop has kdebase and kdelibs as a dep.
