Thanks Thorsten! I alraedy read this in the handbook and you encouraged me to 
try it. For me this is not the best solution (cause I like to keep such 
custom stuff in my home dir and not as deep in the system as /etc/env.d) BUT: 
this is the only way that works!

 $ cat /etc/env.d/46digikam-svn
KDEDIRS=/home/sero/kde_svn/testbuilds/digikam_trunk
LDPATH=/home/sero/kde_svn/testbuilds/digikam_trunk/lib
PATH=/home/sero/kde_svn/testbuilds/digikam_trunk/bin

That's close to my own startup script but this doens't work (the LDPATH is not 
processed by Gentoo in any way it seems. Try echo $LDPATH in your system - 
$LDPATH is empty by default).

No problem cause atm I have only this SVN install. What was interessting in 
the whole story is that it seems like my older SVN install has allways been a 
mixture from SVN and stable Gentoo stuff without me knowing it. But now 
finally it is sane ;-)

Yeahhh it did! Thank you so much!
