I'm just trying to "emerge kde" on an x86 system on a new Gentoo installation, following the install instructions in the handbook. If there's anything strange in my environment it wasn't intentional. The emerge of media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.11 is failing during compilation of the ximage component. Note that I don't know what gst-plugins is or what the ximage plugin is for, so if there's some way to emerge kde without this component, let me know.

- definitely not a blocker - has nothing in common w/ KDE - dupe

Sorry for submitting a duplicate bug report. I did search the bug database without finding the bug, so I must have used the right search terms. The emerge libXdamage workaround appears to be working for me, at least compilation is continuing. Is there somewhere where this information can be posted to so that new users can find it? For now, until the bug is fixed, "emerge kde" doesn't work. So it's an important piece of information for a new user to know.
