I'm getting the following when trying to emerge kdevelop

Hmm... I emerged kdevelop a few days ago just fine.

try updating your portage tree first, and then emerge kdevelop again.

Yep I did do that just before emerging. I actually just finished doing emerge -- update world before trying to emerge kdevelop

I've just done another emerge --sync and emerge --update world --deep and then tried to emerge kdevelop again but still getting the same error.

Okay, it seems I had found the problem.
Do this after the emerge failure:

Step 1)
cd /var/tmp/portage/kdevelop-3.2.1-r1/work/kdevelop-3.2.1/parts/tools/
nano addtooldlg.cpp

Step 2)
Delete the 28th line (or comment it out with // ) saying:
#include "kdevapplicationtree.h"

Step 3)
Save the file.
cd /var/tmp/portage/kdevelop-3.2.1-r1/work/kdevelop-3.2.1/
make

See as KDevelop compiles.

So what was the problem?
Check the file called kapplicationtree.h (same dir as addtooldlg.cpp), it contains this just after the big comment containing GNU LGPL stuff:
#ifndef __KDevApplicationTree_h__
#define __KDevApplicationTree_h__

So I think someone had renamed kdevapplicationtree.h (and others) to simply kapplicationtree.h, successfully wrote the necessary include to addtooldlg.cpp, but forgot to remove the include which included the old and now non-existent kdevapplicationtree.h .
it's time for a bug fix for kdevelop

But I won't report this on bugs.gentoo.org; I'm just an end-user

I've done a quick patch for this...

Save as a file named like this: /usr/portage/dev-util/kdevelop/files/kdevelop-3.2.1-vlsoft.patch

I tried that and got the following error

Okay, it's obvious, that the problem is with the patch. Did I screwed up the file's path in the beginning of the patch file? But it works on my gentoo box...

I think the really interesting part is this:

That did it. I thought it might have been that because when I copy and pasted the test into a file the alignment went a bit off.

Cheers
