My Ferrari is back with a brand new engine and no libpng issue. Lets follow this logic. You blindly wanted to re-emerge all of world because an over-reaching gcc upgrade guide said so. Coincidentally, there was a monumental libpng cock-up hanging around which emerge -e world just happened to fix. And this somehow validates the gcc upgrade guide? You just happened to have a fortunate side-effect at the right time. Doesn't change the fact that the author of the guide wrote a misleading document. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
