package I Can't install with my X version. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ~x86 
2. emerge sync 
3. emerge -up world 
Altranatly 
emerge -u gtk+ 
Actual Results:  
checking for x86 platform... yes 
checking compiler support for MMX... yes 
checking for freetype-config... /usr/bin/freetype-config 
checking For sufficiently new FreeType (at least 2.0.1)... yes 
checking for X... libraries /usr/X11R6/lib, headers /usr/X11R6/include 
checking for gethostbyname... yes 
checking for connect... yes 
checking for remove... yes 
checking for shmat... yes 
checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes
