[gentoo-user] Trying to remove aRTs

[Mick]

Hi All,

I've set USE="-arts" and ran a revedep-rebuild.  It all went pear shape from 
there:

=======================================

It can't read /usr/kde/3.5/lib/libartskde.la probably because kdelibs did not 
create it, with my -arts USE flag.  I thought that it was feasible to build 
KDE applications (like e.g. noatun) without aRTs.  Am I wrong in my 
assumption?  How do I move on from here?
