   |  libart_lgpl_2.la is part of graphics/libart which is a dependency of 
   |  kdelibs3 so it should be there.
 
 Yes, sorry, I missed that one - and yes, it looks to be in the
 binary package of libart, and kdelibs3 does depend upon it.
 
 Unfortunately, pkg_add doesn't note what other packages it is
 installing (or doesn't seem to the way it gets used in pkg_comp)
 unless they have an install time message, so I cannot be certain
 that it was actually installed - but it certainly should have been.
 (I think pkg_comp is doing nothing other than pkgsrc's "make binpkg"
 or whatever that target is, that installs stuff from binary if possible,
 and makes the binary packages otherwise).
 
 (This suggests an improvement for my build script, when it fails I
 am going to make it run pkg_info so I know for sure exactly what got
 installed as part of the build.)
 
 When I get the chance, I'll try this again (this build has been attempted
 dozens of times in the past few weeks, and fails the same way every time,
 so I'm pretty sure I can repeat it) and I'll see if I can see what's
 gone wrong, and if possible, why.
