The behaviour is indeed weird. As for myself, it did not work for a long time, but just recently, I tried a clean install after I saw that some changes had been performed on dbus, and it is presently working.
> Ah, ok. I don't use KDE and I was hoping that KDE3 was obsolete at this point, but I guess not. So do we have any existing port naming conventions in MacPorts with regard to how a user will know if a particular port is for KDE3 or KDE4?
As for the base ports of kde, the naming convention seems to add the KDE version to the port (e.g. kdebase3 vs. kdebase4). In this fashion, should the port be named kile4 ? The convention (if it is one) is however not respected for kile, as the KDE3 port is "kile".
Cheers,
