Have a look at the documentation about USE flags. It's part of the Gentoo |
38 |
Handbook, in the section about working with Gentoo: |

Because you had the tiff flag turned off, Gentoo assumed you didn't want all |
42 |
those packages on your system to be linked against the tiff libraries (for |
43 |
whatever various reason). Therefore even though you installed the libraries, |
44 |
the packages themselves hadn't linked against them. |
45 |
|
46 |
You might want to check your use flags for other media related flags, |
47 |
depending on which file formats you'll be using (off the top of my head there |
48 |
are a couple of flags for various picture formats). |

And welcome to Gentoo! :) |
