Kmymoney2 expects the file libxml++.a but as you can see it isn't installed. Verified in 
versions 0.21 and 0.24.

I would suggest un-commenting the two 'dosym' lines in the libxmlpp ebuild.  This should fix 
the problem.  I need to research why they were commented in the first place. 

[Comment 2 Chris Bainbridge (RETIRED) 2003-08-13 00:11:33 UTC]

That fixes the problem, but I've got no idea why those lines were commented. 

[Comment 3 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2003-10-23 12:50:39 UTC]

Closing as it now works for reporter.

[Comment 4 Chris Bainbridge (RETIRED) 2003-10-23 13:22:47 UTC]

It works for me after I changed my ebuild. Have you actually changed the
ebuild in portage? My 0.24 and 0.25 tree still have the dosym lines commented
out!

[Comment 5 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2003-10-23 13:32:59 UTC]

I didn't change the ebuild, mainly because the reason for why it was commented
out in the first place was rather vague.

However, I can't reproduce the problem on my end based on the way the ebuild
is set up.  My thought is that perhaps your system has some cached version
of the way the old ebuild used to be and that's what is causing the confusion
(since no one else has reported the problem either).
