Full error log of astrometry

sci-astronomy/astrometry-0.72 emerged without errors, but solving any images fails with (see attachment):
"cairoutils.c:715:cairoutils_read_ppm_stream: Netpbm is not available; can't read PPM images"
Same happens if I install it manually and not via portage.

That's not the error. The PBM warnings are just warnings. It's reading a PNG file and *that* fails.

I solved it for me with astrometry from git commenting out this line in

astrometry.net/util/makefile.netpbm:

#NETPBM_INC ?=

and adding this line instead:

NETPBM_INC=-I/usr/include/netpbm

and recompile, it works now.

Sorry for posting this as bug.
