The good news? It's only ever failing on kdegraphics. The bad news? All of those packages take forever to compile. Well, except pciutils... It seems that kdegraphics is missing a dependency on media-libs/libungif. Try emerging that and see if it solves your problems. If it does work, file a bug at bugs.gentoo.org (search first of course - I did and couldn't find a dupe but check anyway ;-). Regards, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
