When i tried to upgrade kile to version 1.9.1, compile fails with this error msg: libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib64/libpng.la' In fact this file doesn't seem to exist: ls -la /usr/lib64/libpng.la ls: /usr/lib64/libpng.la: No such file or directory I tried if a reemerge of libpng would change something but it doesn't! The file still doesn't exist... I recently reverted back to libpng-1.2.8-r1 because libpng-1.2.10 is broken on amd64 systems at the moment, so maybe it's connected to that... emerge --info: Portage 2.1.1_pre1-r2 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1/amd64-vanilla, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.1 distcc 2.18.3 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 2.0.0_rc1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.16 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe -ftracer" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe -ftracer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/gentoo/ ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/gentoo/ ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo" LINGUAS="de" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X a52 aac alsa avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr cli crypt cups dri dts dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode ffmpeg foomaticdb fortran gif gpm gstreamer imagemagick imlib ipv6 isdnlog java jpeg kde lzw lzw-tiff mad mono mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png pppd python qt quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl ssl tcltk tcpd theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb vcd vorbis xorg xpm xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_evdev input_devices_mouse kernel_linux linguas_de userland_GNU video_cards_ati video_cards_fglrx video_cards_vesa" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
note libpng security bug 138433 adding package maintainer to bug.
libpng-1.2.8 does not install a libtool linker script libpng-1.2.10 does install a libtool linker script you had 1.2.10 for a while, linked stuff against it, got references to libpng.la you downgraded to 1.2.8, you no longer have libpng.la but things that linked against it want libpng.la rebuild the packages that want libpng.la
