gentoo emerge not working!!

hi everybody,
just switched to try gentoo, installed it, rebooted, and ran emerge -k kde
it seemed everything ok, when i go to start kde, it complains that libart_lgpl_2.so.2 is not in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH or not installed, i ran a search for it and its not installed (there is a libart_lgpl.so.2 but not the above), shouldnt emerge have installed all the dependencies too? anyone got any ideas on how to rectify this using emerge?

i would check the gentoo forum. They were very helpful when i was building a gentoo box. I know there instructions need updated though.

i installed it from tarballs anyways; i think i messed it up when i pressed ctrl+c when it was running the first time

...Gentoo 1.4 has some bits missing.
You need to:
emerge -k libart_lgpl
emerge -k fam-oss
env-update && source /etc/profile

Then kdeinit will start up OK.
Make sure it is an underscore in the first line, hyphen in the second. Lose the -k if you want to emerge from a Gentoo mirror.
