Expected Results:  
It should compile the latest kdebase version

I read somewhere on the gentoo forums that you must unmerge kdelibs and then emerge kde. But, I do not want to have to recompile both of these rather large packages for every upgrade

Not devrel; opening and reassigning.

Please add your "emerge --info", the output of "emerge -pv =kde-base/kdebase-3.5.8-r1", the actual error message (which comes before the part you posted) and attach /var/tmp/portage/kde-base/kdebase-3.5.8-r1/temp/build.log.

Unmerging kdelibs is *not* neccessary.
