Hi. I'm using gentoo 1.2 and portage 2.0.27. I was trying to install kde, which requires the libxslt which is supplied from the gnome people. Download, md5, unpacking is okay, but the compilation fails. There is a parse error in the xslt.c file. Is that due to errors in portage/ebuild scripts or dur to errors in the configure/make file of libxslt?
it might help if you pasted the errors here so we can actually see it
Hi, I attached the errors I'm getting. To make it short, I grepped out all the creating and checking statements from make. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Terribly sorry! My apologies. I had installed libxml instead of libxml2. It compiles fine now. Sorry for the hassle. Best Wishes, Flurin
