Error upgrading KDE4 from 4.7 -> 4.8

C

Seeing the hefty changes documented in /usr/ports/UPDATING, I uninstalled all of my QT and KDE packages and updated the ports collection, hoping for an easy upgrade.

I'm trying to build KDE4 from source, using the x11/kde4 meta-package, but I'm getting an error trying to build x11/kde-workspace

It seems that
Code: 
gmake[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/local/lib/libdl.so', needed by `kcheckpass/kcheckpass'.  Stop.

is what is stopping the build, is anyone else getting this problem, or has a solution?

Thanks
 
Well don't I just feel stupid, the offending file (libdl.so), which shouldn't even exist on FreeBSD IIRC, was a broken symlink. Removing it fixed the problem. I must have made that symlink some time ago and forgotten about it.

/me awaits lecture from DutchDaemon about symlinking libraries... :stud

Consider it done .. always document these, or put them in your calendar/agenda so you're reminded every x weeks to check.
 
Or use portmaster -w to upgrade ports, which saves the old libraries. Or only use symlinks until the ports are rebuilt. After that, fastfakelib may help to find forgotten symlinks. Of course, if they have been forgotten, remembering to run it is questionable.
 
The -w option is in my portmaster.rc as
Code: 
SAVE_SHARED=wopt
and it hasn't failed me yet.
