Actual Results: gives the above err msg. Expected Results: comiled.
hmm well your opengl setup is broken by the looks of it, try switching with opengl-update Anyway gtkglarea is sort of not supported. I'm not sure what uses it, but it should probably be removed.
closing this, if this is still a problem you need to look at similar bugs regarding libGL.la . Probably an opengl-update/xfree problem.
I have the same problem, while trying to emerge gdeskcal (gtkglarea is one of its dependencies). What can I do to resolve it? Rerun opengl-update didn't work.

I had to run "eselect opengl set xorg-x11" (you maybe have to compile eselect and eselect-opengl first) and then compilation worked. After that I set opengl interface back to ati
