KFontInstall control module got disabled from compilation because of missing FreeType 2.x libraries/headers. You can download the freetype library from http://www.freetype.org/. even though freetype is installed: media-libs/freetype-2.1.5-r1 * media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r4 * [ebuild R ] media-libs/freetype-2.1.5-r1 -bindist -cjk -debug -doc +zlib Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
getting the same message in ksplashml. wonder why.

I don't think the bug is a problem in freetype but only the fact that the error message is in the file kdebase-x.x.x/configure.in.bot that is extracted for every ebuild while the check is in file and it's not extracted for every ebuild but only for the control center module. So the solution is to fix it upstream moving that error message in a new file called kdebase-x.x.x/kcontrol/kfontinst/configure.in.bot
Yeah, almost every module has harmless error messages like that coming from its toplevel configure.in.bot. Should be fixed centrally. The problem is that in many cases those errors are pertinent to severas subdirs and so can't be relocated to a configure.in.bot in just one of them; but if you copy it to all of them, it'll get printed several times (when building the entire module). Maybe there's an autoconf trick to get around this.
Yeah. I've changed the freetype check as it's only related to the /kcontrol/kfontinst/ dir. So I'll test it and commit it upstream. If I found other similar problems in other modules I'll try fix them. I'll also try to add some configure flags to enable/disable some library/programs checks like I did in the akode ones.
I commited the fix upstream. No one complained again :D. I'll leave this open to avoid duplicates (I hope) until the message will disapper in the future kde 3.4 rc.
...
Should be fixed now.
