Thanks for this. The link from kde.org goes to a page
dated Dec 11 2007 which doesn't mention v4.0.

I did what it said using the recommended(Split)
method, then this:

localhost heathen # emerge -avD kde-base/kde:kde-4

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies /
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy
"kde-base/kde:kde-4" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required
to complete your request:
- kde-base/kde-4.0.0 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86
keyword)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Ingmar Vanhassel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (16 Jan 2008)
# Mask KDE 4.0.0 for testing. This release of KDE 4
will not be unmasked.
# KDE 4 guide:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde4.xml


For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in
the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Further down the page it suggests I emerge
kdebase-startkde

localhost heathen # emerge -avD
kde-base/kdebase-startkde

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies /
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy
">=x11-libs/qt-4.3.3:4" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required
to complete your request:
- x11-libs/qt-4.3.3 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- x11-libs/qt-4.4.0_rc1 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86
keyword)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Caleb Tennis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (19 Dec 2007)
# Christian Faulhammer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
# Mask qt-4.4 package while testing them in portage
# Plus packages depending on them


For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in
the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by
"kde-base/kdebase-startkde-4.0.0" [ebuild])

Which leads to this:


localhost heathen # emerge -avD =qt-4.3.3:4

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies /
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=qt-4.3.3:4" have
been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required
to complete your request:
- x11-libs/qt-4.3.3 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in
the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

>From the Handbook:

"When you want to install a package that isn't
available for your system, you will receive this
masking error. You should try installing a different
application that is available for your system or wait
until the package is put available."

What is this other version? I don't suppose I have to
"wait" since it's already here, apparently.
