Turned out this was due to a problem with the gmp package not being able
to be built on a 64bit platform. Although the gentoo install is x86
32bit gmp apparently gets confused. My solution was found at
http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Kolab2_Server_Troubleshooting_-_Compiling
however at the end of the instruction I was unsure if the kolab build
was complete so re-ran obmtool...possibly unnecesary though.

After this came another problem with clamav that the version of the ftp
server was not the same as listed in obmtool.conf...is this something
that has already been noted? Anyway changed the version in obmtool.conf
to one that was available on the ftp server and the build completed
succesfully.

This problem arose from imap not running properly and was not directly
related to horde. I had just built that kolab and then tried to build
horde without testing any other client first. Turned out no clients
could connect. This was in fact a result of the problem described here
http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Kolab2_Server_Troubleshooting_-_IMAP
though there is a spelling mistake at the end of the final command.

Now I have horde working with kolab and have managed to get some level
of success with synckolab, toltec and horde working with each other,
things aren't quite right but I guess that's nothing to do with this
discussion.

Cheers for your response.

Regards,
