Issues during xorg-x11 install

I'm having a little issue install xorg-x11 on my fresh install. It was giving me an error about not being unable to install media-libs/freetype package. One thing that I tried was adding the X and truetype USE variables to make.conf. Unfortunately, I'm now getting an error during emerge --update --deep --newuse world. Sys-apps/groff-1.19.2-r1 is giving me a problem as well. I'm thinking I need to resolve this issue before I go on with fixing my x11 error.

I did look in the build.log for the groff package. I noticed that it was reporting that the programs pnmcut, pnmcrop, pnmtopng, psselect, pnmtops, and gs couldn't be found in PATH. That's main thing I notice from that log. I would post the logs, but I'm typing from my laptop. I'm hoping someone can help me with this USE thing that I did (and might not have been the best thing to try?). Once that is cleared up, I'm hoping someone could assist with the xorg-x11 problem. I hate it when I cause more problems for myself when trying to fix something.

Did you firstly try to do an emerge --sync before you started updating?

Please post the output of emerge --info and the exact error message you receive (if you can). These two things may help us narrow down the problem.

I'll type these up the best that I can since I'm writing these up from my laptop as I look at the computer with gentoo on it.

For emerge --info, I'm not sure if I can see the entire thing. The screen has PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" on down. This is all that I can see of it. i typed it up as best as I could.

For the error I get duing emerge --update --deep --newuse world:

For the emerge --info, you can pipe that to less so you can see all of it:

I did some more searching through the log and this problem with the libsandbox. I found another post in the forum about this. I uninstalled it and reinstalled. That helped one of the problems. I was still having a problem with xorg-x11 install. I found another post that helped. I did a emerge --depclean and a emerge xorg-x11. It is running fine right now.

Sorry about not posting the whole error message, but it is hard to type the entire message from my laptop as I look at the computer with my gentoo install. By the way, is it possible to copy an error message while in a cli environment and then post it to the forums through that links browser? That could be useful next time I run into a big problem.
