Re: [gentoo-amd64] Re: KDE 3.5.2-r1 emerged Issue!

[Christopher E]

Hello Duncan,

Ok, I have now updated my gentoolkit doing this:
emerge --update --newuse gentoolkit -a

I am in the middle of doing a emerge on kdelibs:
emerge --update --newuse kdelibs -a

I figured what could be the hurm of doing this and hopfully this will
allow me now to emerge kde and have it work.

I am also hoping that this will fix the issue I am having now in gnome
also, as this pulls in things from x11.

Sincerely,
Christopher
