When I try to compile xmms-nebulus, I get errors about SDL checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.3... no *** Could not run SDL test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact error that occured. This usually means SDL was incorrectly installed *** or that you have moved SDL since it was installed. In the latter case, you *** may want to edit the sdl-config script: /usr/bin/sdl-config configure: error: *** SDL >= 1.2.3 not installed - please install first *** !!! ERROR: media-plugins/xmms-nebulus-0.6.0 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 338, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

is libsdl installed?
Yes, it is. Here is the output of emerge -s libsdl * media-libs/libsdl Latest version available: 1.2.6-r3 Latest version installed: 1.2.6-r3 Size of downloaded files: 1,994 kB Homepage: http://www.libsdl.org/ Description: Simple Direct Media Layer
can you post the config.log from the build directory ?
Created attachment 22481 [details] config.log Here it is
re-emerge libsdl and try again you've updated/removed directfb since you last emerged libsdl and thus have broken it ;) might also want to try the `revdep-rebuild` util in the gentoolkit pkg
