I have freshly installed gentoo using 2005.1 stage 3 tarball and gentoo-sources. I have included compiled-in support for framebuffer splash in the kernel. emerge splashutils fails as below Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge splashutils Actual Results: CC splash.o In file included from splash.h:144, from splash.c:27: ttf.h:3:22: ft2build.h: No such file or directory ttf.h:4:30: freetype/ftoutln.h: No such file or directory ttf.h:5:31: freetype/ttnameid.h: No such file or directory In file included from splash.h:144, from splash.c:27: ttf.h:23: error: parse error before "FT_UInt" ttf.h:23: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union ttf.h:24: warning: data definition has no type or storage class ttf.h:25: error: parse error before "pixmap" ttf.h:25: warning: data definition has no type or storage class ttf.h:33: error: parse error before '}' token ttf.h:33: warning: data definition has no type or storage class ttf.h:37: error: parse error before "FT_Face" ttf.h:37: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union ttf.h:57: error: parse error before '*' token ttf.h:57: warning: data definition has no type or storage class ttf.h:58: error: parse error before "cache" ttf.h:58: warning: data definition has no type or storage class ttf.h:59: error: parse error before "scratch" ttf.h:59: warning: data definition has no type or storage class make: *** [splash.o] Error 1 !!!

Please check out the latest ~amd64 version of splashutils. To do so, you might want to add: media-gfx/splashutils ~amd64 to /etc/portage/package.keywords.

That worked, thanks :-) FYI: I also had to add: dev-libs/klibc ~amd64 to /etc/portage/package.keywords Also, I just noticed that my emerge --info results were slightly different when I booted directly into my environment rather than chrooting from the gentoo liveCD install disk. The emerge --info results originally posted are from the chrooted environment, and incorrectly? shows my kernel as being 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 even though it is actually 2.6.14-gentoo-r2. (I previously tried to emerge splashutils both from booting normally and from chrooting into my environment from the liveCD - both failed without ~amd64 in keywords). I hope that made sense - let me know if it's unclear.
