[gentoo-user] qtiplot

[b.n.]

Hi,

I have an x86 gentoo system, and I would like to install qtiplot.
Unfortunately:
- qtiplot 0.8.x requires qwt-4. I have both qwt-4 and qwt-5 installed,
and when compilng qtiplot seems to pick invariably the qwt-5. How do I
force qtiplot to build with qwt-4 ?

- qtiplot 0.9.x requires to unmask dependencies like split ebuilds for
qt-4.4.2 and boost-1.35. Is it safe to do so in a mostly x86 stable
system? What caveats could there be in migrating to the qt-4 unstable
split ebuilds?

Thanks,
m.
