That's a bug. But we would need more of the build log to say anything about it. Are you building attica on its own, or as a dependency of something else? Note, though, that the plasma5/ branch is *usually* stable, but not always; and the instructions are out of date. > I was follow the instruction from here > http://src.mouf.net/area51/view/branches/plasma5/README > > I was giving this a try. > I tried before Christmas to install KDE4:14 via pkg.

What exactly were you expecting then? kde4 (the port or package) is a metaport that pulls in *everything* from KDE, e.g. also all the KDE4 applications. If you want a more pared-down setup, install only KDE ports that you want. For a basic desktop (e.g. the Plasma4 desktop) with no applications, install kde- workspace (KDE Plasma Desktop). > I was not happy with > this and then there problems.

But this isn't a KDE-thing, is it. FWIW, my desktop is KDE4 from pkg, with VirtualBox (+qt5) from pkg as well, works fine. Admittedly, it wasn't installed this month. So your experience is not universal -- again, we'd need more details to say anything useful. > , I tried > installing through ports I got QT4 but I managed to trash the > system.
