I read a webpost that talked of qt-creator using it's own version of botan hence I didn't think it would be a linking error, that it would have the correct stuff "on board". A viewing of the ebuild shows that it has a USE_SYSTEM_BOTAN=1 so I reinstalled botan, even though I already had the latest version installed, and hey presto, it built. Thanks for the comments, Andrew
