I first ran emerge --sync and that worked fine (seemingly). I then tried to emerge --update --deep --newuse world. I started the update around 12 am this morning, and it just gave me this error around now (3:00 pmish). Here's what it said on my screen: ... configure: error: ***GIF header not found *** !!Please attach the config.log to your bug report: !! /var/tmp/portage/imlib-1.9.14-r3/work/imlib-1.9.14/config.log !!

Actual Results: I got the exact same error as I previously described. Expected Results: I expected the emerge to finish the rest of the packages as well, instead of failing and exiting. It's a P3 800 MHz, with 384 MB of RAM and a 30 GB HD (2.5 GB free). I had nothing but normal system processes running (I was in run level 3 with the command prompt screen, i.e., X11 wasn't even running.) Thanks for your help!
Created attachment 50167 [details] The error log.
I did some more searching, and was able to resolve the problem by executing "emerge giflib". Apparently, I was just missing the gif_lib.h header, and so this fixed the problem!
