I am running Gentoo 1.4 with a current system as of 11/14/02. After installing flac-1.0.4 (a direct copy and rename of the flac-1.0.3 ebuild), xmms (version 1.2.7-r15) can't find the flac input plugin and spits out the following error message: "libFLAC.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". I solved the problem by creating a symbolic link from libFLAC.so.4.0.1 to the nonexistent libFLAC.so.3 in /usr/lib. I don't know if this is correct, but it allows xmms to find flac files and play them without any problems. Mark
this problem occurs when you have flac-1.0.3 installed and then upgrade to flac-1.0.4. during the compile flac-1.0.4 looks for -lFLAC in /usr/lib/ before its local build area. this results in it being linked against the (about to be removed) libFLAC.so.3. the fix for this is to add --reverse-deps to the ebuild of flac. i've committed this fix. mark, if you want a "clean" system, emerge rsync to get my changes, then remove your symlink and re-emerge flac. folks emerging flac from this point on should not be affected. closing as FIXED.
