I first noticed this problem when I noticed that konqueror-3.2.2 did not have the plugins item under "Confiure Konqueror". I tried a reemerge of kdelibs and kdebase and noticed the following message while compiling kdebase: ------------------ checking if ksystraycmd should be compiled... yes checking if ktip should be compiled... yes checking if kwin should be compiled... yes checking if kxkb should be compiled... yes checking if l10n should be compiled... yes checking if nsplugins should be compiled... no checking if pics should be compiled... yes checking if konqueror should be compiled... yes checking if kdesktop should be compiled... yes checking if kdm should be compiled... yes configure: creating ./config.status You're missing OSF/Motif or LessTif. KDE won't be able to use Netscape plugins without it, so you should consider installing it. Have a look at http://www.lesstif.org, or find a binary package for your platform.

Bug #49695?
I swear -- I searched for kde and motif! :) It does look like the same bug as I filed here. However, bug #49695 is labeled as "invalid", but does not give a real fix for this problem. If this is an openmotif problem, then that ebuild should be fixed. The invalid mark is probably why it didn't show up when I searched.
i'm not all that keen on bugzilla's searching. i think the reporter marked it invalid. it may be helpful to prod whoever is in charge of openmotif and see if they know of this... most likely that's lanius@gentoo.org
<a href="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51526">Bug #51526?</a>
I looked at bug #51526. There is a fix for gcc-3.4.0 that seems to fix the openmotif installation issue. However, subsequently emerging kdebase still gives me the "checking for Motif... libraries (none), headers in default path" error and the lack of a plugin configuration option in Konqueror.
So another patch appeared for openmotif-2.1.30-r5 that seems to fix the problem now. Doing emerge sync emerge --oneshot openmotif kdebase seems to address this issue now. The kdebase build process does not give me the "You're missing OSF/Motif or LessTif" errors anymore.
