I don't use kde-meta, but I went to www.gentoo-portage.com to track down
what package you're missing (this error clearly indicates you're missing
a package, but that package is not a direct dependency of kde-meta, or
it would have been installed). Here's what I found:

Programs That Depend On kuickshow

    kde-base/kdegraphics
    kde-base/kdegraphics-meta

Programs That Depend On kdegraphics-meta

    kde-base/kde-meta


So imlib is needed because kde-meta depends on kdegraphics-meta, which
depends on kuickshow, which depends on imlib. But some gif header needed
by imlib is not installed or broken:

(Piped to prevent quoting)

Runtime Dependencies
imlib-1.9.15

 |   >= media-libs/giflib - 4.1.0
 |   >= media-libs/jpeg - 6b
 |   >= media-libs/libpng - 1.2.1
 |   >= media-libs/tiff - 3.5.5
 |   gtk = x11-libs/gtk+ - 1.2*

imlib-1.9.14-r3

  |  >= media-libs/giflib - 4.1.0
  |  >= media-libs/jpeg - 6b
  |  >= media-libs/libpng - 1.2.1
  |  >= media-libs/tiff - 3.5.5
  |  = x11-libs/gtk+ - 1.2*

... aand my guess is that package would be

gif >= media-libs/giflib - 4.1.0

Is this package installed? If so, I would consider re-emerging it (and
possibly imlib as well), with

emerge --oneshot --ask giflib

or

emerge --oneshot --onlydeps --ask imlib

You could just emerge either or both, but that would add them to your
world file, which is not necessarily the best choice (but maybe this is
not important to you).

Or, you could of course check b.g.o (bugs.gentoo.org) to see if this is
a known problem.

Hope this helps,
Holly

Yes, I don't mind having it in the world file.

I noticed that, too-- when I checked imlib and giflib on my own system,
I saw:

emerge -pv imlib giflib

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-libs/imlib-1.9.14-r3  574 kB
[ebuild   R   ] media-libs/giflib-4.1.3  +X +gif 556 kB

.. which looked awful weird to me for two reasons:

1) it seems a bit nuts to me that a program called 'giflib' should need
optional support for 'gif' (if you compile giflib without gif support,
what the h-e-double-hockey-sticks does it do??)

2) the 'gif' USE flag is not listed on gentoo-portage.com (although
maybe it's an error in the site, since the flag that *is* listed does
not seem to come up in Portage):

Runtime Dependencies
giflib-4.1.3-r2

    ! media-libs/libungif -
    rle media-libs/urt
    X virtual/x11

giflib-4.1.3-r1

    ! media-libs/libungif -
    X virtual/x11

giflib-4.1.3

    X virtual/x11

Although gentoo-portage.com is apparently correct, given the output of a
search for the 'rle' USE flag:

useflag rle
/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:media-libs/giflib:rle - Build
converters for RLE format (utah raster toolkit)

which makes sense, I don't get why the 'rle' USE flag does not appear if
I request to emerge giflib, while an apparently useless 'gif' USE flag does.

So something definitely looks wonky here, but it's not you, and it would
seem that enabling the 'gif' USE flag hacks this mess into working
(insofar as imlib compiles for both of us with this flag set). Thus,
problem solved, but not eliminated, it would seem.

Better not do that.  The world file should (mostly) just contain the 
packages that you actually directly use, not their dependencies.  
Having dependencies in there can later cause perplexing problems, 
if for example imlib or giflib were replaced by something else.
