In some sense, join the club. Anyone working on HEAD is bound to have these 
problems. 2 days is a bit excessive though - slow disk, I'll warrant.

So do a cvs co kdelibs kdepim/korganizer and get a checkout that is at least 
(well, probably) consistent at the moment you check it out.

Why would you need to mention arts? Even HEAD only requires 
ARTS_1_1_0_RELEASE. Which is the last arts to actually compile on non-glib 
systems, anyway (not that that's relevant to _you_, anyway).

Get real. Get a checkout from one point in time, fix stuff, then merge. You 
may not be able to compile the stuff after the merge until you get a new 
kdelibs, but that's life. Or, you could work in BRANCH, then merge.

It's called cd arelevantdirectory ; make && make install. You should be able 
to detect what part of libs has advanced out from under you and just update 
and build that. Yes, there's recursion. No, it's not fun.
