Even after rebuilding both x264 and gst-plugins-x264, the plugin fails to load with the following output: Could not load plugin file: Opening module failed: /usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstx264.so: undefined symbol: x264_levels Checking the plugin .so with ldd shows that it's not linked to libx264, which it apperently should be. I also tried the ~arch version of gst-plugins-x264, but it's exactly the same issue there. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gst-plugins-x264 2. see that libgstx264.so is not linked to libx264.so Actual Results: libgstx264.so is not linked against libx264.so Expected Results: libgstx264.so should be linked against libx264.so Portage 2.1.12.2 (default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop, gcc-4.7.3, glibc-2.15-r3, 3.10.7-gentoo x86_64)

The answer lies in build log, but actually I've ran into this too, just didn't feel the need to file. The problem lies in media-libs/x264 build system and seems to cover all version currently in portage (I've tested just 0.0.20111220 and 0.0.20130731). The reason for the problem is: pkg-config x264 --modversion 0.120.x pkg-config x264 '>=' 0.120.0 ; echo $? 1 The solution would most likely be adjusting x264 ebuild to append '0' instead of 'x'.
$ pkg-config x264 --modversion 0.148.x $ pkg-config x264 '>=' 0.120.0 ; echo $? 0 $ pkg-config --version 0.28 seems more like a pkg-config bug, or that 0.120.x < 0.120.0 for it; anyway, its fixed now
(In reply to Alexis Ballier from comment #2) > $ pkg-config x264 --modversion > 0.148.x > $ pkg-config x264 '>=' 0.120.0 ; echo $? > 0 > $ pkg-config --version > 0.28 > > > seems more like a pkg-config bug, or that 0.120.x < 0.120.0 for it; anyway, > its fixed now Not this just means it *works* now, not that it's fixed, cause it obviously isn't. pkg-config version checks, it seems, were not meant to be used with version strings mixing letters and numbers.
