Ok I have a look at this package from sunrise, as I need it for frostwire and I noticed a few things. 1) You not build or install libfec8. 2) You patch the source to look for libfec8 in a location where it will not be (for multiple reasons). In fact it is probably better to not patch the code at all as the original code "looks" more correct.

There is net-libs/fec for it. That lib installs the .so files like i do for all other libs too (/usr/lib/<libname>.so). > 2) You patch the source to look for libfec8 in a location where it will not be > (for multiple reasons).

This patch does at least load the lib, also it only works on x86 and crashes badly on amd64.
