usata, please fill in yourself as this package's maintainer in the metadata.xml, as you seem to be the maintainer.
What does `equery list libungif` and `equery list giflib` say? Also, does /usr/include/gif_lib.h exist? It should exist and belong to giflib because you have gif in USE flag.
equery returned: [I--] [ ] media-libs/libungif-4.1.3 (0) [I--] [ ] media-libs/giflib-4.1.0-r3 (0) I've just noticed that there's a newer version of giflib (Portage didn't want to upgrade it automatically). The compilation of magicpoint works smoothly after emerging it. I've also tried installing the older version of giflib (works OK) and then reinstalling libungif (still works OK), which leads me to the conclusion that it was some kind of screw-up on my side. I'm sorry about the fuss :)
