Strange DEPEND tracking here : gif? ( media-libs/netpbm app-text/ghostscript dev-lang/perl ) Those are all fairly common , How is "gif" disabled when you already have them installed? Also >=dev-libs/glib-1.1.15" does this work without glib 1.2 and with only glib 2 installed?
if you don't use gif then you won't have those optional things added (see the loop in src_instal(). Until its moved to an autoconf setup I don't see any way to optionally adding/removing gif support (aside from the src_install way) without hacking the code and/or Makefile. Quoting from the README: You will also need glib. I have developed traffic-vis using glib-1.1.15 but I think older versions should work too. [snip] I have not used this program (its more than cryptic) nor tested with glib 2. However using even Gentoo standards, you should set the minimum glibc version to 1.1.15. (BTW, with dev-libs/glib-1.2.10-r5 and dev-libs/glib-2.2.3 installed this _compiled_)
glibc != glib glib 2.x isn't backwards compatible, and frankly theres not much that forces somone to have "glib-1.2" installed. I seriously doubt this will even compile with a modern glib version, so the >=dev-libs/glib is quite much considered a bug. here's from a clean install : ripples / # qpkg -q -I glib sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r1 * DEPENDED ON BY: --- Note, no glib installed. ripples / # USE="-gif" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -vp traffic-vis These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

so I got annoyed and fixed this in cvs. Bah.
