By 'it' you seem to mean qt? PResumably because the standard USE flags
for your profile have it defined. Here's what I'm getting when I
emerge qt:

lightning ~ # emerge -pv qt

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] x11-libs/qt-3.3.4-r8  +cups -debug -doc -examples
(-firebird) +gif -immqt -immqt-bc +ipv6 +mysql -nas -odbc +opengl
-postgres -sqlite -xinerama 0 kB

lightning ~ #

You can adjust your usage to be the same as mine by modifying
/etc/portage/package.use to get the same flags if you want. That
should build. (I hope!)

OK, so at this point I'd recommend changing your jack flags to be like mine:

lightning ~ # emerge -pv jack-audio-connection-kit

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.100.7  +alsa
(-altivec) -caps (-coreaudio) -debug -doc +jack-tmpfs (-mmx) -oss
-portaudio +sndfile (-sse) 0 kB

lightning ~ #

You definately want the jack-tmpfs one turned on. Whether you really
want the oss flag I'm not sure. I don't know what that does unless it
builds some JAc-oss client.

In your case you may well not want cups. Modify
/etc/portage/package.use like this:

x11-libs/qt -cups

Here's my usage:

lightning ~ # emerge -pv qt

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] x11-libs/qt-3.3.4-r8  +cups -debug -doc -examples
(-firebird) +gif -immqt -immqt-bc +ipv6 +mysql -nas -odbc +opengl
-postgres -sqlite -xinerama 0 kB

Total size of downloads: 0 kB
lightning ~ #

Note that since this is a multipurpose machine I need cups support for
other things. If yours is only for recording then you probably do not.
This will likely reduce the amount of stuff you need to build  by
quite a lot.

Hope this helps,
Mark
