this is the error message it quits with. I'll attach the whole log install: cannot stat `*.so': No such file or directory make[2]: *** [install] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mplayer-0.90_pre5-r1/work/MPlayer-0.90pre5/vidix/drivers' make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/mplayer-0.90_pre5-r1/work/MPlayer-0.90pre5/vidix' make: *** [install] Error 2

This is a problem with mplayer itself, as it still tries to install the vidix stuff when they are not compiled. I think reporting this to the upstream authors will be the best way to go.
i see. but isn't this package masked if emerge will fail all the time?
It only fails in some cases, which seems to be kernel config related. It works fine on both my boxes, and in gcc-3.1 chroot.
I don't think this has anything to do with kernel configuration as I couldn't find anything about this on mplayer mailinglist.
Created attachment 2827 [details] Complete captured compilation file i have the same problem of Andreas Kotowicz, same SO and same mplayer version... So, the problem exists. PS: for now i'm using mplayer from cvs and it work fine when compiled with the usual form ./configure + make + make install. But also if i compile the pre5 it work well if manually compiled. Thanks for help and.... fix it ! ;-)
I never said there was no problem. What I did say, is that the Makefile tries to install the vidix drivers when they were not compiled.
yes, sure, no prob :) (PS: now there is mplayer pre6 out...what about.... :-) Ciao !
Try pre6. Makefile was still the same, so I patched ${S}/vidix/drivers/Makefile not to fail if it cannot install the vidix drivers.
no, problem still persists :-( also pre6 doesn't compile fine ...
Comment #10 From Stefano Zamprogno: If you want me to try and help, include a full error/compile log, thanks.
mplayer pre6 is out and compiles so I close this bug
