I've encountered the same bug. I think the solution is to make this package depend on =dev-libs/lzo-1.08-r1 when it's merged with "ffmpeg" in USE. --- emerge =media-video/vlc-0.8.4a-r1 --- ... i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -Wsign-compare -Wall -O2 -march=pentium-m -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -o libffmpeg_plugin.so libffmpeg_plugin.a -L/usr/lib -shared -lpthread -fpic -fPIC -lavformat -lavcodec -lmp3lame -lxvidcore -ldts -lx264 -lfaad -lfaac -lz -llzo -ldl -lpthread -lvorbisenc -ltheora -lavutil -lvorbis -lm -logg -lpostproc -lz -ldts -lmp3lame-lm -u vlc_entry__0_8_4 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -llzocollect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[6]: *** [libffmpeg_plugin.so] Error 1 make[6]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/vlc-0.8.4a-r1/work/vlc-0.8.4a/modules/codec/ffmpeg'make[5]: *** [all-modules] Error 1 make[5]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/vlc-0.8.4a-r1/work/vlc-0.8.4a/modules/codec/ffmpeg'make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/vlc-0.8.4a-r1/work/vlc-0.8.4a/modules/codec'make[3]: *** [all] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/vlc-0.8.4a-r1/work/vlc-0.8.4a/modules/codec'make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/vlc-0.8.4a-r1/work/vlc-0.8.4a/modules'make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/vlc-0.8.4a-r1/work/vlc-0.8.4a' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

The dep is not from VLC, something else is requiring liblzo.
I'd say that lzo is not a runtime requirement for VLC, cos the VLC binary does not link against LZO (1 or 2). [jon@garp ~]$ ldd `which vlc` librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x00002b6f3b717000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00002b6f3b820000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002b6f3b936000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00002b6f3ba3b000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002b6f3bb93000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002b6f3b5fb000) It's something in the build process that needs lzo-1
If you were to get the dependencies from ldd output, you'd say that VLC depends on nothing. Probably a plugin links to liblzo, but the point is that I cannot find it in vlc's sources themselves, so it's likely to be brought in by a pkg-config. Please provide the config.log for the failed build.
I grepped '/usr/lib64/vlc' for lzo, and got a match for ffmpeg Then I did the following: emerge --unmerge lzo-1.08-r1 emerge ffmpeg emerge vlc And the VLC build worked! Hypothesis: the ffmpeg ebuild (or one of it's dependencies) is broken, and caused my previous revdep-rebuilds (etc) not to get the LZO dependencies right.
Comment #5's solution worked perfectly for me.
(In reply to comment #6) > Comment #5's solution worked perfectly for me. > Nope, not working for me, I only have lzo 2.x libs on my system. The problem seemed to rear it's ugly head when i removed esd and rebuilt with -esd in make.conf. Putting them back didn't force a rebuild of vlc.
Comment #5 works for me. What's a more correct, permanent solution? (Or will we always refer people to this bug when VLC won't install?)
I just run into it after revdep-rebuild - it suggested vlc, but rebuild failed comment #5 helped, I unmerged lzo, rebuilt ffmpeg, then vlc finally, I re-emerged lzo as a dependency of gnutls (update world) - I wonder what will happen after next ffmpeg rebuild (update) with lzo installed ...
The dependency does not come from VLC, it's just stale linking in ffmpeg.
(In reply to comment #10) > The dependency does not come from VLC, it's just stale linking in ffmpeg. so, what's the number of the bug you filed against ffmpeg as you closed this one? this is breakage on stable system, syncing and updating world does not help, and since vlc is the thing that fails, from the users' point of view it is problem of vlc - and when we know where the problem is, we can check for it and warn the user (just as I experienced a few minutes ago - updating gtk+ stopped and asked me to rebuild cairo with use pdf ...)
