Not yet. I need to re-try the operation and see if I get the same error.
Part of my problem might have been that I was working on a weird
Sabayon/Gentoo hybrid, which I imagine could have led to some version
conflicts. That's why I'm re-installing -- so I'll be on a known,
all-Gentoo platform.

Thanks to you and Roman for your hard work on this.
It sounds like maybe I just need to wait until
things stabilize a bit.
Is there any way I can help with testing? I'm not a coder, but I know
how to use a command line and follow directions. I wouldn't call myself
"c++ literate," but I can read it a little bit.
Unfortunately, what we
need most right now is someone who can help
unravel the tangle we've gotten into with respect to Portage and the
autotools-dependant packages. Until that happens, or the remaining
packages are ported to cmake, we're pretty much at a standstill.
Testing is always welcome, though. What Roman and I were able
to get working was the equivalent of kdebase-meta, kdeartwork-meta,
most of kdegraphics-meta, a few bits of kdenetwork (kmail, kopete)
and kdeutils, and some third-party stuff (kaffeine, amarok). Just
checking to see if these will emerge for you and reporting back any
errors would be some help. I have tried to make the kde-sunset overlay work
a couple of times. The
most recent time I almost got kdelibs to compile successfully, but then
ran into an error involving cups and an include-file that wasn't
included. That's when I started looking at the tde overlays.
Hmmm. I have
kde-sunset's kdelibs working here (with cups 1.5.2-r4),
but I don't know when the last time was that I had to re-merge it. Did
you pass the error along to the gentoo-desktop ML?
