Hi,

I stumbled over this issue while trying the kde update to 3.5.

Here are my observations:

1. It seems to be a problem with libtool, which for some reason tries to find
   the .la file in /lib. kde ships its own libtool, which does not differ in the
   relevant places from the common libtool.
2. Other distributions have a symlink in /lib that points to the
   /usr/lib/lib{acl,attr].la. This is the recommended fix from kde side for this
   build problem also. It helped at least kdelibs and kdebase for me.
3. Our build scripts prevent such a symlink as they move it to /usr/lib.
4. A dirty hack that creates such symlink before building kde stuff and removes
   it later helps the build. I placed this in kde-3.conf. But it is not a nice
   solution and I will not submit it.

Ciao

Andreas
