After changing to KDE, I decided to emerge openoffice-ximian with the KDE-flag set, but I get an error that it cannot find my KDE headers. And as I am in fact running kde-3.4-beta2 at the moments, I think that is kind a odd.

>And as I am in fact running kde-3.4-beta2 at the moments, I think that is kind a odd. You are aware that there is no support for hard masked stuff!?
As carlo already pointed out: KDE 3.4 is hard masked. Also there is a fix for this in openoffice-ximian-1.3.8, you really shouldn't mix hard masked and stable.
Oh, right. Just trying to help anyways.
