regrettably, your .sig rings true this time. building from pkgsrc craps 
out on some issues with QT: it seems there are some disagreements about 
how to use libtool and it just dies. I have tried everything I know and 
have gotten nowhere.

I have tried building from source (tarballs from Trolltech and KDE), as 
well as thru pkg_src, as well as pkg_add.

The irritating thing this is that there is only *one* piece of KDE that 
isn't available thru pkg_add -- kdeutils -- but it blocks everything else.

I moved from linux to bsd to get away from RPM and it's poor attempt at 
handling dependencies: annoying to get bitten  by it here.


I'm running make in pkgsrc and logging the results: I'll post the salient bits in case anyone sees something I missed.
