(In reply to comment #1) > (In reply to comment #0) > > Package 'libpng12', required by 'cairo', not found > > Have you re-emerged cairo yet? > I've checked gedit sources, there's no reference to libpng at all. This is a issue of emerge order, when upgrading to libpng 1.4 you should emerge cairo first, then gtk+, and likely libglade thanks for reporting anyway :)
i'm sorry just got the mail that told me you answer here it was to help, not to let you dig in gedit source and waste time there :(
