Okular building help request

Sun Feb 28 12:18:09 UTC 2016

Hi your build failed to fetch dbus.If emerge complains about checksum mismatch delete the downloaded file and try it again, the same if it fails to extract a file.emerge --make qtbase only works if --configure was successfully run before, which is included in "emerge qt".
Cheers,
Hannah
