The installation of kde-misc/ksmoothdock-3.5.1 will fail if kde-base/arts is not installed. This problem occurs regardless of whether the arts USE flag is turned on or off. I was able to fix it by installing the kde-base/arts package (version 1.3.1), but if this is always the case (if ksmoothdock depends on the arts package), then I think the ksmoothdock ebuild should be modified to include kde-base/arts as a depend. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge unmerge kde-base/arts 2. emerge ksmoothdock Actual Results: Here is the end of the installation log (created by doing "emerge ksmoothdock 2>&1 | tee ksmoothdock.log"): . . . checking for KDE... libraries /usr/kde/3.3/lib, headers /usr/kde/3.3/include checking if UIC has KDE plugins available... yes checking for KDE paths... defaults checking for dcopidl... /usr/kde/3.3/bin/dcopidl checking for dcopidl2cpp... /usr/kde/3.3/bin/dcopidl2cpp checking for mcopidl... not found configure: error: The important program mcopidl was not found!

Thanks for reporting this, it should now be fixed. Please sync your portage tree (probably the sync mirrors needs some time to be updated) and try again. Let us know if it works.
