I did not seem to have the problems that Noah did on my wife's Gentoo
box. I only had to emerge 4 KDE packages to get noteedit built. That
said I chose to build 2.8.0 as the noteedit page said it was the
curent stable version. So much for that being true:

kbuildsycoca: WARNING: '/usr/share/applications/mplayer.desktop'
specifies undefined mimetype/servicetype 'video/x-fli'
kbuildsycoca: WARNING: '/usr/share/applications/mplayer.desktop'
specifies undefined mimetype/servicetype 'video/vnd.vivo'
LilyPond check: not available.
KCrash: Application 'noteedit' crashing...
Unable to start Dr. Konqi

Maybe I should try an earlier version one of these days.

Cheers,
Mark
