I was trying to upgrade KDE on a PPC machine, and started with qt-3.3.3. When that failed due to a segfault in UIC (presumably bug 61483), I unmerged the existing qt version and tried again. This time, it ended up trying to run a nonexistent "qmake" when making plugins/src. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge unmerge qt 2. emerge qt (where the current ebuild is qt-3.3.3) 3. Actual Results: qmake: command not found (during "make plugins/src") Expected Results: It should have run the qmake it had just built, and finished the emerge. I copied the qmake built during the failed emerge to a directory in the root user's path, and tried the emerge again. This time, it got past several invocations of qmake, but the new copy of uic segfaulted, terminating the emerge again.
