When i compiled smpeg-xmms 0.3.5 i got an error that the conftest.c would compile but not run. in fact i found that it didn't compile at all. the configure script generates this conftest.c file and when echoing the code it was putting in hard line breaks that was messing up the printf's in the testing code. ANYWAYS, here is the patch to fix the problem. I dunno if you can go ahead and throw this in as a patch even though its smpeg-xmms's problem. --- configure 2003-09-18 04:15:46.000000000 +0000 +++ configure.new 2003-09-18 04:17:29.000000000 +0000 @@ -2701,16 +2701,11 @@ } else { - printf("\n*** 'smpeg-config --version' returned %d.%d.%d, but the -minimum version\n", $smpeg_major_version, $smpeg_minor_version, -$smpeg_micro_version); - printf("*** of SMPEG required is %d.%d.%d.

Can you add this as an attachment to the bug? i'll try and add it after you update. Thanks.
Created attachment 18015 [details, diff] Patch to Fix Configure Error
Nevermind, i created the patch and have commited. Providing context diff is probably better. Commited as -r1, ~x86 masked. Let me know if there are any issues. Thanks for the submission.
Created attachment 18016 [details] Updated Ebuild to use the Patch
Created attachment 18017 [details, diff] Context Patch
The patch in the CVS tree is incorrect for some reason or another but i have uploaded a context version of the patch. The current CVS patch leaves one line unchanged that needs to be changed.
