If you enable the USE-flag gstreamer, wxGTK is supposed to build with mediactrl support, and pull in gstreamer as a dependency. If you build this, the configure script will complain that it can't find gstreamer. Further investigation shows that at the same time it's checking for gstreamer, it also checks to see if it finds gconf. Since gconf isn't a dependency, this doesn't always work, and the mediactrl fails to build. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unmerge gconf 2. Enable USE=gstreamer 3. Emerge wxGTK Actual Results: Configure complains that it can't find GStreamer, and wxGTK is built without mediactrl support Expected Results: Configure should find gstreamer and build with mediactrl support. $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.6.7 (default/linux/x86/2008.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r1, 2.6.28-gentoo-r2 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.28-gentoo-r2-i686-Intel-R-_Pentium-R-_D_CPU_3.00GHz-with-glibc2.0 Timestamp of tree: Sat, 18 Apr 2009 02:15:01 +0000 distcc 3.0 i686-pc-linux-gnu [disabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7-r1, 2.1.7 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r14, 2.5.2-r7 dev-util/cmake: 2.4.8 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.muntinternet.net/pub/gentoo/ http://ftp.ing.umu.se/linux/gentoo/ http://mirror.gentoo.no/" LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise /usr/portage/local/layman/pythonhead /usr/portage/local/layman/webapps-experimental /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl alsa amr ao apache2 audiofile bash-completion berkdb bindist bluetooth bzip2 cairo cddb cdinstall cleartype cli cracklib crypt cups directfb dri dts dv dvb dvd encode fbcon ffmpeg flac fortran gcj gdbm glut gpm gstreamer ical iconv icq id3tag idn isdnlog ithreads jabber java jikes jpeg jpeg2k libsamplerate mad matroska mbox midi mmx mmxext mp3 mplayer msn mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nvidia offensive ogg openal opengl openmp osc oscar oss pam pcre perl png postgres pppd python qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session slang slp sndfile snmp sockets sox spl sqlite sqlite3 sse sse2 ssl subversion suexec svg svga sysfs tcpd theora threads truetype unicode usb vcd vhosts vorbis webdav-serf win32codecs x264 x86 xft xml xmlrpc xorg xvid xvmc yahoo zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
