Just to make sure:  I re-installed libtool and then cdparanoia,
but I still have the same problem (which I didn't explain well.)

The real problem is that kdemultimedia3 fails during the 'configure'
phase.  This is taken from the config.log:

configure: 35403: /usr/pkg/lib/libcdda_paranoia.so
taking that
configure:35412: error: --with-cdparanoia was given, but test for cdparanoia
failed

Based on my past experiments with this kind of problem I *assumed*
that the following might explain the error:

#cd /usr/pkg/lib

# ldd libcdda_paranoia.so.0.0.98
libcdda_paranoia.so.0.0.98:
ldd: libcdda_paranoia.so.0.0.98: Shared object "libcdda_paranoia.so.0.0.98" not
found, required by "ldd"
libcdda_paranoia.so.0.0.98: exit status 1

I've been able to fix this kind of error in the past by adding /usr/pkg/lib to
the 'rpath' for other (unrelated) packages, and that is why I assumed that
changing the rpath might fix this current problem.

My assumption could very well be wrong, of course.

If you could give me years of experience in a few minutes I'd be very
grateful ;o)
