Compilation of the kdeaddons-3.5.0_beta2 ebuild fails with: checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.0... no *** Could not run SDL test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact error that occured. This usually means SDL was incorrectly installed *** or that you have moved SDL since it was installed. In the latter case, you *** may want to edit the sdl-config script: /usr/bin/sdl-config configure: error: --with-sdl was given, but test for SDL failed !!! ERROR: kde-base/kdeaddons-3.5.0_beta2 failed. !!! Function kde_src_compile, Line 156, Exitcode 1 !!! died running ./configure, kde_src_compile:configure !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.
