Hi, I emerged splashutils but it failed here:

Is there a hidden dependency on FreeType 2? What do I need to do to get it to install?

[rabinath]

try to emerge media-libs/freetype. At least ft2build.h is contained in there.

[bus.dch]

Well, yeah, but shouldn't it be listed as a dependency so that it's emerged automatically?

Ist should be some times it doesn't i had a similar problem with kdebase a few weeks ago i had to manualy add a dependency before update kdebase or it would always break.
