I am having a similar problem to this bug:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33190
except I get it with emerge kde a suggestion was disabling Hardened, what is Hardened and how do I disable it? Thanks a lot and I am loving Gentoo!

well I tried emerge kde again now I get a different problem

alsa failed
parallel make failed.

Well, I know your all probably busy with Christmas stuff and all so no rush, and thanks for all the previous help you all have given me. have a good Christmas!

Edit* I tried a third time and got the same error as the first time, I might wind up using GNOME

I suppose that Hardened is "hardened gentoo" - some security testing kernel (something, can't remember where I read about it).

can you provide us with some more info?
I don't know if you are trying to compile qt-3.2 (as the bug-article implied) or 3.1.4 or 1.0...

by judging your short posting, I assume that your system is very fresh - have you tried 3.1.4 before trying 3.2?

all I did is an emerge kde, now I am trying to install each package individually aka, emerge kdebase.
Well do you need anything else, and yes it's very fresh, just got it working yesterday, gotta go take care of crandberrys brb! thanks

so, thanks, but what should I type to be able to get 3.1.4 going instead of 3.2? Sorry, really busy you know? thanks yet again!
edit* thank God for this link:

*edit2
I have tried emerge "=kde3.1.4" and it is trying to compile qt-3.2.3 any ideas? should I do emerge "=qt-3.1.4" then emerge "=kde3.1.4" ? Sorry I am being so annoying and its nice to see so many people willing to help. I never had this much help with Mandrake...

*edit3
Sorry, I am still somewhat new, I tried installing an older version of qt (3.2.2r1) and it also failed, anyone have any ideas? I personally preffer KDE over GNOME but I think I am going to have to get GNOME because I cannot get KDE working, if you have any advice that would be great, well hope your all having a good Christmas Eve. buh-bye.

Ok, tried GNOME and yet another problem, similar to the one I got in KDE. This time app-text/opensp-1.5-r1 failed, should I report a bug you think? I would REALLY love to get some desktop environment working, please help me out!

*edit
Well I found a bug filed for this one too!
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31325
I guess I have some pretty bad luck, well, I really don't want to use windowmaker, I REALLY want to get KDE working, I wish I knew how to program so I could look at the source and try to figure out what the heck is wrong. 26 Mins. until Christmas WEE!
