Have you run: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
# lafilefixer --justfixit |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
It looks like the libpng update has removed /usr/lib/libpng12.la and |
| 30 |
/usr/lib/libpng.la is probably referencing this file. lafilefixer should |
| 31 |
fix this. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
You're running with both libpng 1.2 and libpng 1.4 installed. May I |
| 34 |
suggest you read: |

|
| 38 |
Do you keep a log of emerge messages so that you can fix these issues |
| 39 |
as they arise? |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
The file /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example gives examples of |
| 42 |
how to store all messages generated during an emerge update. These |
| 43 |
messages can save you a lot of grief later on. |
