When trying to emerge =media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p27120 with the x264 USE flag, ./configure doesn't find x264 and thus "-x264encopts" is unknown to mencoder. It turns out that the configure script has been updated in rev27041: "require latest x264 to enable MEncoder's x264 support" rev27040 of mplayer is able to find and build with =media-libs/x264-0.0.20070924, rev27041 (and thus all revisions that came at a later point, such as 27120) only seem to work with =media-libs/x264-0.0.20080406. I haven't tried 20080301, because 20080406 works flawlessly for me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have =media-libs/x264-0.0.20070924 installed. It's the currently the only version that is not masked 2. Unmask =media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p27120 and activate USE="x264" for it (via command line or /etc/portage/package.use) 3. Watch ./configure ignore x264: Checking for x264 ... no (in libavcodec: no) 4. Unmask =media-libs/x264-0.0.20080406 and repeat step two. 5. Watch mplayer's configure script find x264 and compile just fine with it # emerge --info Portage 2.1.4.4 (default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.26 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.26 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ Timestamp of tree: Mon, 04 Aug 2008 06:23:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.6 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r13, 2.5.2-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r2 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=k8 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=k8 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="" MAKEOPTS="-j3 -s" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl ao arts bash-completion berkdb bzip2 cairo cdr cli cpudetection cracklib crypt cups cursors dbus dri dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode esd evo ffmpeg firefox flac fortran gdbm gdm gif glut gnome gpm gtk hal icons iconv isdnlog jack java jpeg jpeg2k kde libcaca libnotify lm_sensors mad matroska midi mikmod mmx mmxext mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia ogg opengl openmp oss pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline real reflection samba sdl session speex spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg sysfs tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype unicode usb vorbis win32codecs wmf x264 x86 xinerama xml xorg xulrunner xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
