Yeh you do because KDE is NOT just kde, its a bunch of other libraries included, which wont compile a a dependency as the libraries required are already present in the system. Only the catch is the libraries are old. SO yo need a portupgrade. As you say that its a freshly installed system, I would say go for a cvsup and a rebuild of the main tree because of two reasons. Firstly the stock tree and kernel has loads of compatibility features which can be eleminated for good. You can also put optimization flags ( man make.conf, the CFLAGS section) which would largely affect the install. Regards S.
