I am trying to emerge kdesdk-3.2.0. It fails during the running of the configure script crying about not having kdelibs. Kdelibs-3.2.0 is already installed. checking for KDE... libraries /usr/kde/3.2/lib, headers /usr/kde/3.2/include checking if UIC has KDE plugins available... no configure: error: you need to install kdelibs first. died running ./configure, kde_src_compile:configure * * Your KDE program installation died while running the configure script * !!!

Did you upgrade Qt and not re-emerge kdelibs like the ebuild said?
>>> Did you upgrade Qt and not re-emerge kdelibs like the ebuild said? No. I did most likely the following to upgrade things: emerge -UuvD world. Where was this message suppose to be displayed on the screen? After Qt was upgraded or at the end of the emerge process? If it was at the end I will claim neglect on my part but it was after the Qt was emerged and I am upgrading things after that then I would have most likely not seen it. Is there a way to force re-emerge of dependent packages? For example, if kdelibs is so strongly linked into Qt then if Qt is upgraded then force kdelibs to be re-emerged. I will try to re-emerge kdelibs and see what happens.
Nope, there currently isn't a way to do that. The only resolution I have is to post a message at the end of the emerge. Also there's quite a few threads about this type of upgrade at forums.gentoo.org which tell about this.
just a re-emerge of kdelibs fixes the problem. In the future I will rework the ebuilds to force this so it's not so confusing.
