wow, never seen one like this before. do you find any other errors in the config.log?
I have studied this some more, and it does seems like some more errors exist. I don't know if all of these represent errors, though. Unfortunately, the log file exceeds 160K.

Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.
In your first message you cutted the instruction used to compile the qt test. I think this is useful to understand why it can't find the qt headers. I think that it's passed a bad some different -I/usr/include/qt/3 and my fear is that QTDIR is badly setted. Do you have also qt2 installed? I'll be interested to look at the full config.log instead of some pieces, can you send it to the kde herd (kde@gentoo.org) or at least to me (motaboy@gentoo.org)?
I don't have qt2 (the machine represents a brand new install, and I had no reason for it). I will send the log file.
$ ./configure --enable-alsa --enable-vorbis --enable-libmad --disable-jack --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr/kde/3.3 --with-x --enable-mitshm --with-xinerama --with-qt-dir= --enable-mt --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-debug --without-debug --with-arts --libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib For a strange reason QTDIR isn't setted: --with-qt-dir= Do you have /etc/env.d/50qtdir3 ? (it's installed with the QTs) and if yes, can you post it? If it's not installed you should try reinstalling
are you sure it's not something like what's happening in Bug #67166?
I was experiencing the same problem, so on the advice of Bug #67166 I re-compiled qt-3.3.3-r1. Once that was complete the emerge of arts succeeded.
Thank you for the responses: I do NOT have /etc/env.d/50qtdir3 (or /etc/env.d/45qt3 that I found in another Gentoo machine). qpkg -l qt only shows the directories /etc /etc/env.d and not those two files I have already reinstalled qt once: # ls -al /var/log/portage/*qt* -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 636784 2004-10-15 10:00:45 /var/log/portage/1978-qt-3.3.3.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 9 2004-10-15 10:00:46 /var/log/portage/1979-qt-3.3.3.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 636784 2004-10-17 02:08:51 /var/log/portage/1987-qt-3.3.3.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 22 2004-10-17 02:08:54 /var/log/portage/1988-qt-3.3.3.log I certainly don't mind doing it again (especially if it will solve the problem :) ), but before I do, do you want me to watch for anything? This doesn't seem related to bug 67166 (at least to me), as I have qt 3.3.3 (not 3.3.3-r1), and the stable version of glibc: # qpkg -I -v glibc sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1 *
This is very strange, has these 2 files must be installed by the qt ebuild. from scr_install(): # misc insinto /etc/env.d doins ${FILESDIR}/{45qt3,50qtdir3} I can't understand why they aren't installed. You can try upgrading you portage to 2.0.50-r11 as the was removed for some bugs (the -k one) and try installing the QT again. Probably someone more expert has some better ideas.
Found it (a big case of user stupidity). :( The third install didn't work either, but I finally started looking in the correct place (thank you Simone for virtually pointing it out to me). I will omit the details, but basically those files didn't exist in the portage tree. Perhaps (a rationalization) portage should die when it can't find files that should exist. Then I would have noticed what I did right away. Time to disappear for a while. Sorry to waste every one's time.
