I am attempting to emerge VLC 1.0.4 (updating from 1.0.3). During the ./configure phase, I get these errors at the end: checking GL/glu.h usability... no checking GL/glu.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: GL/glu.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: GL/glu.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: GL/glu.h: see the Autoconf documentation configure: WARNING: GL/glu.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" configure: WARNING: GL/glu.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result configure: WARNING: GL/glu.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence checking for GL/glu.h... yes checking GL/glx.h usability... no checking GL/glx.h presence... no checking for GL/glx.h... no configure: error: Please install GL development package.

Error from config.log could be helpful.

I don't SEE VIDEO_CARDS among the vars. All the problems come from /usr/include/GL/glext.h. What does 'eselect opengl list' print ? Try resetting it.
# eselect opengl list Available OpenGL implementations: [1] nvidia * [2] xorg-x11 Thanks for the comment. I just remembered that I switched from the proprietary nVidia drivers a few weeks ago to the ones from Gentoo and I forgot to set the VIDEO_CARDS variable back to "nvidia." Set it in /etc/make.conf, then re-emerged a few things to get the new use flag set up. The error persists though.

I hope you emerged those drivers, not used upstream installer, as it tends to mess things up on Gentoo. Error looks the same. Try following: 1.reset to xorg-x11 2.reemerge mesa 3.reemerge nvidia-drivers 4.set it to nvidia If that doesn't work, attach that /usr/include/GL/glext.h (though chances are this will end up INVALID anyway, as a result of some mistake on your part). Oh, and state exact version of nvidia-drivers, you've emerged.

I originally did have the third-party drivers installed, then I uninstalled them and emerged them a few weeks ago. > 1.reset to xorg-x11 > 2.reemerge mesa > 3.reemerge nvidia-drivers > 4.set it to nvidia Done, everything worked fine. > If that doesn't work, attach that /usr/include/GL/glext.h > (though chances are this will end up INVALID anyway, as a result of > some mistake on your part). It is attached, and you're right, it seems broken (it's mostly binary). So it seems then, since you say the error looks the same, that this isn't a problem with the ebuild. I saw some posts about similar errors after the release of a new verison of autoconf, and I thought that's what this was. > Oh, and state exact version of nvidia-drivers, you've emerged. x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-185.18.36 Thanks
Sorry, by "everything worked fine" I meant that those four steps were successful, but the problem still remains.
Did you have a hard drive / power failure ? That's not /usr/include/GL/glext.h Check the content of include subdirs in /usr/lib/opengl if glext.h there look correctly, remove the corrupted one and reselect.
Didn't have any failures that I know of... Turns out glext.h and glxext.h, which should have been symlinks to /usr/lib64/opengl/include/nvidia/glext.h and glxext.h were instead pointing to files in /usr/lib64/opengl/include/global for some reason. I deleted them and reset eselect and it created symlinks to the nvidia subdirectory. It's odd that those links didn't get fixed when I toggled back and forth between xorg-x11 and nvidia opengl interfaces. VLC emerges correctly now. Sorry this wasn't an actual bug. Thanks for the help though!
Content of the attached header suggests that a disk / power failure took place.
