Bug 41783 – libtool cannot find the libqt-mt.la library for any KDE apps

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Sean E Russell 2004-02-16 06:49:47 UTC]

I noticed this during an emerge -u world; I *believe* that the cause was an upgrade to qt-3.3.0.  I'm not running a lot of "unstable" packages, but I am running KDE-3.2.0 and QT-3.3.0.

Every KDE app that I try to compile, within portage or out, generates the same error:

/bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=CXX g++  -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -O2 -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common    -o krecipes -R /usr/kde/3.2/lib -R /usr/qt/3/lib -R /usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/qt/3/lib -L/usr/kde/3.2/lib  main.o krecipes.o krecipesview.o pref.o recipe.o ingredient.o ingredientlist.o elementlist.o element.o ingredientproperty.o ingredientpropertylist.o editbox.o conversiontable.o unitratio.o unitratiolist.o propertycalculator.o setupwizard.o shoppingcalculator.o fractioninput.o mixednumber.o menugroup.o krecipesiface_skel.o conversiontable.moc.o editbox.moc.o fractioninput.moc.o setupwizard.moc.o  gui/libkstartuplogo.la DBBackend/libkrecipesdbs.la exporters/libkreexport.la importers/libkrecipesimporters.la dialogs/libkrecipesdialogs.la widgets/libkrecipeswidgets.la datablocks/libdatablocks.la DBBackend/libqsqlite/libkrecqsqlite.la -lsqlite  -lkhtml -lkspell
libtool: link: cannot find the library `/var/tmp/portage/qt-3.3.0/image/usr/qt/3/lib/libqt-mt.la'
make[1]: *** [krecipes] Error 1


Why is it looking in /var/tmp/portage for the QT libraries??

The error also happens when trying to upgrade kdepim (3.2.0).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
I don't know how to tell *you* to reproduce it, but it happens when trying to compile any KDE app.
Actual Results:  
Invariably, I get a libtool link error against libqt-mt.la, which libtool is 
looking in the wrong place for. 
 
libtool: link: cannot find the library 
`/var/tmp/portage/qt-3.3.0/image/usr/qt/3/lib/libqt-mt.la' 
 

Expected Results:  
Successful compilation.
