There was a commit or two that made kdelibs use libtool properly, and not install the effectively-useless .la turds. For some completely bizarre reason, other KDE ports look for the existence of the .la file, instead of the library itself, to determine whether or not "KDE libraries exist". I believe Will is working on some patches for the KDE ports to fix this behavior. Y'all should be using GNOME anyway ;) -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX.
