[MPlayer-users] libgii.so.0 not found.

[Andreas]

It seems that it was the libggi that had changed... When I tried to
re-emerge it, I noticed this little message from portage:

 *
 * Be noted that API has been changed, and you need to run
 * revdep-rebuild from gentoolkit to correct deps.
 *

Running "revdep-rebuild --pretend" showed that quite a few packages
had problems with this change (which explained why VLC didn't work
either).

So then I ran an emerge --newuse --update --deep world to make sure
the ggi use flag was in everywhere, re-emerged libggi again just for
the fun of it and then ran revdep-rebuild.

And now everything seems to work.
My subtitle font seem to have disappeared, but the remedy for that is
easy.. Also, gmplayer seem to be able to play video now - I've only
used mplayer as of yet.. Which is *weird* since they should both be
practically the same thing?
Whatever though, it works now!

Thanks for the help! :]

Piotr Stachura:
Err, "for community"? I've been able to emerge it, so I guess it's for
community. :)
I do have mplayer in my package.keywords though.

Hmm, I'm not sure I know what you mean with bindist flag..
gentoo-portage.com says:

bindist	
Flag to enable or disable options for prebuilt (GRP) packages (eg. due
to licensing issues)

Not sure what that means or does, so I've kept it off.

Cpu-runtime-detection...?
The only thing I can remember setting that was about my cpu was the
CHOST or CFLAGS..
Don't know if you mean those, but here's mine:
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe"

I'm no techie so I've done everything like the book said, so whatever
setting you're talking about is probably in the handbook.  :]
