dies with error /usr/lib/libltdl.la not found. I think this is from libtool, but there is no .la found in /usr/lib... only .so's. I have libtool 1.5.2-r7 installed... mostly everything is from stable branch.

`emerge libtool` should fix this. There was a problem with some imagemagick versions, overwriting libtool files.
thanks for the quick and informative response. I can't believe I didn't try this first, but that totally did the trick.
