That happened after an emerge --sync which lead to an upgrade to libass (0.9.5 -> 0.9.6). It was requested to emerge some packages (@preserved-rebuild). That includes vlc-0.9.9a-r1. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --sync 2. emerge -uDNv world 3. emerge @preserved-rebuild Actual Results: Reemerging of vlc fails with the die message : econf failed. Expected Results: Reemerge vlc-0.9.9a-r1 with success. emerge --info Portage 2.2_rc33 (default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.3, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.30-gentoo-r1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r1-i686-Intel-R-_Pentium-R-_4_CPU_2.40GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.0 Timestamp of tree: Sat, 27 Jun 2009 11:00:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 4.0_p24 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.8-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.6.2-r1 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r8 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.0-r2 sys-apps/openrc: 0.4.2-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.0 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2, 1.11 sys-devel/binutils: 2.19.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.29 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /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/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org/" LANG="fr_CA.UTF-8" LC_ALL="fr_CA.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="fr" MAKEOPTS="-j2" 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=" " SYNC="rsync://rsync.ca.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac aalib acl acpi alsa apache2 avi bash-completion berkdb bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus directfb divx dri dts dvb dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode esd evo fam fbcon ffmpeg flac fontconfig foomaticdb fortran gdbm ggi gif gimp git gnutls gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv imagemagick ipv6 isdnlog jack java jpeg ldap libnotify lirc lua mad matroska midi mmx modplug mp3 mpeg mtp mudflap musepack mysql mysqli ncurses networkmanager nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin objc ogg opengl openmp oss pam pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd pvr python quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session simplexml speex spell spl sqlite sse ssl startup-notification subversion svg sysfs taglib tcpd theora tiff truetype twolame unicode usb userlocales v4l vorbis wavpack win32codecs x86 xfce xml xorg xosd xscreensaver xulrunner xv xvid 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" LINGUAS="fr" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="vesa radeon" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS

I could look for the correct duplicate, but there no point. Resync.
(In reply to comment #3) > I could look for the correct duplicate, but there no point. > Resync. > I ran eix-sync followed by emerge -uDNV world. That reinstalled vlc-0.9.9a-r1 without any success. This time error message reads "make of VLC failed". I created two new attachments : 1. ebuild log 2. ebuild environment
Created attachment 196085 [details] ebuild log
Created attachment 196086 [details] ebuild environment file
(In reply to comment #3) > I could look for the correct duplicate, but there no point. > Resync. > An eix-sync followed by emerge -uDN world and completed by a revdep-rebuild --ignore finally fixed it all.
