5 I'm looking at your problem now to try and help you with it, but you have attached an image screenshot of your emerge output (in this case the output of `emerge libpng cairo -pv`).
6
7 In future please submit emerge output as plain text, not as an image.

9 To complete my first paragraph just now, for example, I had to retype `emerge libpng cairo -pv`. As I did so I had to check between windows, looking left and right, to make sure I spelled it right. And I still cannot be certain of that!

11 It would have been much easier for me if I could have just copied and pasted the text `emerge libpng cairo -pv`, instead of retyping it.

13 In investigating your problem I will want to make lookups on the Gentoo packages database, and this is most easily done by googling (which may turn up other relevant results, also). When you supply your output as an image it makes this more difficult, too, because once again it prevents me from copying and pasting.

15 You should be able to select and copy and paste from your terminal program - kTerm or iTerm or gnome-terminal or whatever. Otherwise you can use the tmux program and capture the buffer into a text file [1], which you can then copy and paste into your email using a GUI text editor. If you need help with this, please just tell us.

17 Putting text in an image makes it harder to help you.
