I've tried repeatedly to emerge kbear and every time, it fails with the following error: checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (library qt-mt) not found. Please check your installation! I know for sure that I have qt installed though, I'm running kde right now. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -v kbear 2. 3. Expected Results: emerge -pv kbear qt These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

The ebuild for 3.3.3-r1 contains the following: # needed to fix lib64 issues on amd64, see bug #45669 use amd64 && ln -s ${QTBASE}/lib ${D}/${QTBASE}/lib64 So the problem _should_ have been addressed. Can you please post the output of "equery files =x11-libs/qt-3.3.3-r1" as an attachment?
I should have looked at the ln usage more closely! Anyway, bug 65722 describes the problem better, even if it is a newer bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 65722 ***
