kdebase fails to build. It bombs with this:

The Audiofile installed is:
audiofile-0.2.3.ebuild

No on else has rerpored this. It looks like some kind of makefile trouble 
(trying to access the audiofile library inside ${WORKDIR}).

Please tell me what your USE flags are (as a comment here).

If you haven't yet, please try remerging audiofile and then try kdebase 
again.

If you have, or once you do (and it fails again), could you please send me 
your 
/var/tmp/portage/kdebase-2.2.2-r2/work/kdebase-2.2.2/libkonq/Makefile* 
files to [e-mail].

My USE var is:USE="slang readline gpm berkdb gdbm tcpd pam libwww ssl alsa nls mitshm perl python gif sdl vorbis ogg gtk X qt kde motif opengl mozilla objprelink 3dnow java"And yes. I've tried remerging audiofiles, unmerging, merging... the lots! Nothing works... Same error!

It seems another user has reported this as well...
On gentoo-user mailing list.... 

A posting with subject:
[gentoo-user] help with gentoo desktop

So it looks like it's not only me with difficulties....

[Comment 4 Dan Armak (RETIRED) 2002-02-01 01:53:21 UTC]

OK, please give me your /var/tmp/.../libkonq/libkonqsound.la and your 
/usr/lib/libaudiofile.la.

If the first one is faulty I'll try to trace any problems with its generation 
(difficult unless I can reproduce the problem, so far I haven't). If the second 
one is, it's a libaudiofile problem not a kdebase one.

I hope we can resolve this soon.

Since there's been no new info for nearly two weeks, and the bug appears 
to have been a libaudiofile one not a kde one, I'm closing this. Reopen if 
still relevant.
