Note KDE code, in our tarballs, never mentions a library by pathname 
like above.

When that happens, it's because of an *installed* .la file. As you said 
below that you cannot find that library, I conclude you don't have it. 
Therefore, it must come in a package you installed.

Conclusion: broken dependency in some package. I've already made a 
proposal that binary packages track dependencies into .la files 
already, but my example code did not work with RPM.

There are two solutions:
1) install libart_lgpl_2.la, either by binary package or by compiling it 
yourself

2) find the .la file that references the library by name and change it 
to -lart_lgpl_2 -- maybe even remove it. ELF targets do not require a 
dependecy's dependencies to be named during linking.
