When trying to emerge libvisual-plugins and if alsa is not installed, autoconf will exit with error, and the log reports missing ALSA_PATH. Alsa should be a dependency to libvisual-plugins then! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install everything without any alsa package 2.try to install for example amarok, wich depends on libvisual-plugins 3. Actual Results: Autoconf returned an error with no proper explanaition to why. Expected Results: Install alsa-headers and alsa-lib before attempting to install libvisual-plugins
Would be really cool if you posted the errors and ebuild version plus emerge --info. Reopen after you've done that.
version is media-plugins/libvisual-plugins-0.4.0, also wasn't using esd flag. Now i've installed alsa-headers and alsa-lib, the problem is gone, as i stated. I have the portage output in my msn logs and will post it later.
