older versions of the ebuild configure with --enable-mozilla=firefox or --enable-mozilla=seamonkey etc. to build the plugin. this syntax is not supported upstream and the plugin is not built with the latest upstream version. instead, --enable-mozilla must be given to configure, and the env vars XPIDL and MOZILLA_CONFIG must be set correctly.
Created attachment 102609 [details, diff] partial fix this is a partial fix that fixes the configure args and also cleans up handling of the directories associated with the plugin installation. you have to use a command like this to get it to work: XPIDL=/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/ MOZILLA_CONFIG=/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-config emerge vlc sorry, i'm not sure how to fix the ebuild to set those env vars. also, sorry about the duplicate bug, i got an internal server error from bugzilla and ended up POSTing it twice.

This will be fixed in 0.8.6_rc1.
Thanks for the info, this is now fixed in 0.8.6_rc1.
No, I didn't get the plugin (nsplugin + seamonkey). Will try to investigate more. Btw I think that the src_install() part related to this should be inside 'if use nsplugin; then' ...
Created attachment 103118 [details, diff] fix it Looks like you just forgot the "--enable-mozilla" part, here's the patch. Now it builds fine with seamonkey (the one who gave you the seamonkey-config path must be a genius :)
