Hello,

I am currently attempting to emerge bootsplash and it is giving me troubles. the error it is sending me is:

!!! ERROR: media-gfx/bootsplash-0.6.1-r7 failed.
Call stack:
ebuild.sh, line 1621: Called dyn_compile
ebuild.sh, line 973: Called qa_call 'src_compile'
ebuild.sh, line 44: Called src_compile
bootsplash-0.6.1-r7.ebuild, line 40: Called die

I have re-compiled my kernel to what the instructions in gentoo wiki have explained, I have tried revdep-rebuild, emerge -sync adding use flags to no resolution. Am I being slightly stupid, and just overlooking the answer that is in front of my face? If anybody can give any hints as to what I am doing incorrectly, or what I am not doing that I should please let me know.
