After emerging any version of xvid greater than 0.9.1 (tested with 0.9.2 and the latest 1.0.0_rc2), the code in avifile's configure script which detects the presence of the xvid library fails, which prevents avifile from knowing that xvid exists, though it's definitely installed on the machine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unmerge any current versions of xvid and avifile. 2. Emerge any version of xvid greater than 0.9.1. 3. Emerge avifile. Actual Results: This is the exact message printed by avifile's configure script. checking for xvid.h... yes checking for xvid_init in -lxvidcore... no configure: warning: Could not run XviD test program, checking why... *** The test program compiled, but did not run. [...] Expected Results: Obviously, it should be detected, but some poking around on the internet reveals this is a problem in the avifile codebase, NOT in the ebuild. Therefore, the ebuild for avifile should be labelled with a dependency for xvid > 0.9.0 and < 0.9.2.
You forgot to mention the avifile version.
