I did not seem to have the problems that Noah did on my wife's Gentoo box. I only had to emerge 4 KDE packages to get noteedit built. That said I chose to build 2.8.0 as the noteedit page said it was the curent stable version. So much for that being true: kbuildsycoca: WARNING: '/usr/share/applications/mplayer.desktop' specifies undefined mimetype/servicetype 'video/x-fli' kbuildsycoca: WARNING: '/usr/share/applications/mplayer.desktop' specifies undefined mimetype/servicetype 'video/vnd.vivo' LilyPond check: not available. KCrash: Application 'noteedit' crashing... Unable to start Dr. Konqi mark@dragonfly ~ $ Maybe I should try an earlier version one of these days. Cheers, Mark
