I suspect that the reason it did not work after you restored the 45kdepaths is because you would have needed to run env-update to merge the changes in to your environment. By re-emerging kdelibs the build replaced the 45kdepaths file and ran env-update for you. Just a theory though. I have no idea why the 45kdepaths would have been deleted in the first place. -- Brett Johnson -- gentoo-amd64@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
