kdelibs rebuild takes quite some time, so if you need i'll post my env files: this is /etc/env.d/45kdepaths-3.5: PATH=/usr/kde/3.5/bin ROOTPATH=/usr/kde/3.5/sbin:/usr/kde/3.5/bin LDPATH=/usr/kde/3.5/lib:/usr/kde/3.5/lib64:/usr/kde/3.5/lib32 MANPATH=/usr/kde/3.5/share/man CONFIG_PROTECT="/usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" KDEDIRS="/usr:/usr/local:/usr/kde/3.5" #KDE_IS_PRELINKED=1 XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/share:/usr/kde/3.5/share:/usr/local/share" COLON_SEPARATED="XDG_DATA_DIRS" and this is: 43kdepaths-kde-svn: PATH="/usr/kde/svn/bin" ROOTPATH="/usr/kde/svn/sbin:/usr/kde/svn/bin" LDPATH="/usr/kde/svn/lib:/usr/kde/svn/lib64:/usr/kde/svn/lib32" MANPATH="/usr/kde/svn/share/man" CONFIG_PROTECT="/usr/kde/svn/share/config /usr/kde/svn/env /usr/kde/svn/shutdown /usr/share/config" KDEDIRS="/usr:/usr/local:/usr/kde/svn" #KDE_IS_PRELINKED=1 XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/share:/usr/kde/svn/share:/usr/local/share" COLON_SEPARATED="XDG_DATA_DIRS" of course, if you're using the portage kde 4.0.x you'll need to modify svn into 4.0. and manually verify the corectness of all the dirs. -- dott. ing. beso
