Have you run: # lafilefixer --justfixit It looks like the libpng update has removed /usr/lib/libpng12.la and /usr/lib/libpng.la is probably referencing this file. lafilefixer should fix this. You're running with both libpng 1.2 and libpng 1.4 installed. May I suggest you read: http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2010/06/29/stable-users-libpng-update Do you keep a log of emerge messages so that you can fix these issues as they arise? The file /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example gives examples of how to store all messages generated during an emerge update. These messages can save you a lot of grief later on. -- Regards, Gregory.
