[gentoo-user] KDE4.2 compile problem

[Dirk Uys <dirkcuys@gmail.com>]

Hi

I'm trying to emerge kde-4.2, but the kde-base/systemsettings-4.2.0
ebuild fails:

I have the latest version of libXi (1.2.0). I tried searching the net,
but the only answer I got was that some guy on the kde forums had the
same problem and resolved it by installing the latest version of libXi
from the repository.

Have anyone else successfully built kde4.2?

Dirk
