If I try to update splashutils (from 1.3-r3 on) it fails to compile with this error: config.h successfully created. You can run `make` now.

Please attach /var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/splashutils-1.4.1/work/splashutils-1.4.1/objs/jpeglib/config.log Also, have you tried remerging klibc?
(In reply to comment #1) > > Also, have you tried remerging klibc? > Hmpf - I considered already re-emerging klibc but abolished this idea again because there were no references to my error msg in the other bug-entries about splashutils :-/ But it was the solution of course :) Many thanks Michal (for the hard work for splashutils as well) !!!
