Can't get gimp

Evertime I try to get gimp I get an error with pyopengl. It says :

gcc -pthread -shared -O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer build/temp.linux-i686-2.3/src/interface/GL.ARB.matrix_palette.o -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib-L/usr/X11R6/lib -Lbuild/temp.linux-i686-2.3 -lGL -lX11 -lXext -lGLU -linterface_util -lGLE -o build/lib.linux-i686-2.3/OpenGL/GL/ARB/matrix_palette.so
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
I don't know what this means.

-Also, how do I emerge a masked package? It says to use a =, but the man pages I found say USE=ROOT. I even recently got Guitoo, but I still don't grasp the concept.

Thanks

Dont know how about the gcc error. You can install masked packages by adding the following to /etc/portage/package.keywords

I tried opengl-update ati since I have a 3D Rage Pro graphics card. That told me that I need xorg-6.8.0. I have 6.7.0 for some reason. I also, have tried media-gfx/gimp ~86 that also did nothing. -Also, I have kernel 2.4.28-gentoo-r5. Do I need a new xorg? If so how do I upgrade it; ie, do I just emerge it and then startx again, or what?

Thanks

For your own good, get an nVidia card. Even if it's an old one. You will be able to get a cheap old one for almost nothing, and I guarantee it wil be worth avoiding the pain that attempting to use ATI under Gentoo will inflict upon your mind and soul.

Trying to bring that thread back on topic, there is a problem with your OpenGL setup. Since the ATI OpenGL implementation is not working for you (to get it working is again another topic, you can do that afterwards), try to use the xorg OpenGL.

I still get the same result:

Okay so far nothing seems to work. Yet, now when I try to --pretend gimp this happens, ( Also same error with just emerge gimp.)

New freetype requires newer firefox. Unmerge FF, update freetype and them merge FF back.

It's just the OpenGL stuff, check if you have libGL.so:

No I don't have that. It said no such file or directory.

How do I do it by hand? If I use emerge I get this:

Okay did that, but what if I were to emerge xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4. Would that make it easier for me down the road? -Also, would I have to reconfigure xorgconfig, or would the new one just use the old config files?

Thanks for all you help, thus far...
