For some odd reason I just can't seem to get the new beta to compile correctly on my system. It keeps trying to load nvidia libraries from /opt/nvidia/lib which does not exist. I had to recreate the file libGL.la in my /usr/lib dir from a post on the nvidia forum and it seemed to allow kdelibs to compile just fine. Has anyone succcessfully compiled the new kde and have an nvidia card on their system or have any ideas on fixing this?
excerpt of the build process and the errors:
grep: /opt/nvidia/lib/libGL.la: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/sed: can't read /opt/nvidia/lib/libGL.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/opt/nvidia/lib/libGL.la' is not a valid libtool archive

Got it fixed. Bugged people in the kde chat room and they had me do a grep -i nvidia /opt/kde/lib/*.la. Which showed that somehow about 10 or 15 files in /opt/kde were pointing to /opt/nvidia/lib/libGL.la. So it is compiling just fine now. I learned a bit about grep after this experience, so it wasn't all hair pulling.
