When I try to compile games-sports/vdrift-20070323, the output includes "/bin/sh: openal-config: command not found", followed by many errors.

The versions 1.5.304 and 1.6.372 don't come with the "openal-config" script, but 0.0.8-r2 does. Even then, if I emerge media-libs/openal-0.0.8-r2 and then games-sports/vdrift-20070323, it builds successfully, but won't run: $ vdrift vdrift: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Making a symlink from /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0.0.0 to /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 solves the problem, but it's a dirt hack.
Use vdrift-20080805.ebuild. Reopen if it fails there.
