helixplayer fails on my system but seems to work for other users. this is the first error I found in build.out: g++ -pipe -Wall -Wreturn-type -fno-exceptions -march=pentium -mcpu=pentium --permissive -fno-rtti -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy -O2 -I../../common/runtime/pub -I/usr/X11R6/include -Ipub/platform/unix -I../include -I../container/pub -I../dbgtool/pub -I../util/pub -I../fileio/pub -I../runtime/pub -I./pub -I. -include rel/common_system_ribodefs.h -fPIC -DPIC -o rel/obj/platform/unix/pthreadthreads.o -c platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp In file included from platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp:46: pub/platform/unix/pthreadthreads.h:92: error: base type `sem_t' fails to be a struct or class type platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp: In member function `virtual HX_RESULT HXPthreadMutex::_Lock()': platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp:145: warning: unused variable `int nResult' platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp: In member function `virtual HX_RESULT HXPthreadMutex::_Unlock()': platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp:198: warning: unused variable `int nResult' platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp: In constructor ` HXPthreadSemaphore::HXPthreadSemaphore(long unsigned int)': platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp:378: error: cannot convert `HXsem_t*' to ` sem_t*' for argument `1' to `int sem_init(sem_t*, int, unsigned int)' platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp: In destructor `virtual HXPthreadSemaphore::~HXPthreadSemaphore()': platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp:388: error: cannot convert `HXsem_t*' to ` sem_t*' for argument `1' to `int sem_destroy(sem_t*)' platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp: In member function `virtual HX_RESULT HXPthreadSemaphore::_Post()': platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp:396: error: cannot convert `HXsem_t*' to ` sem_t*' for argument `1' to `int sem_post(sem_t*)' platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp: In member function `virtual HX_RESULT HXPthreadSemaphore::_Wait()': platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp:409: error: cannot convert `HXsem_t*' to ` sem_t*' for argument `1' to `int sem_wait(sem_t*)' platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp: In member function `virtual HX_RESULT HXPthreadSemaphore::_TryWait()': platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp:418: error: cannot convert `HXsem_t*' to ` sem_t*' for argument `1' to `int sem_trywait(sem_t*)' platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp: In member function `virtual HX_RESULT HXPthreadSemaphore::_GetValue(int*)': platform/unix/pthreadthreads.cpp:475: error: cannot convert `HXsem_t*' to ` sem_t*' for argument `1' to `int sem_getvalue(sem_t*, int*)' make: *** [rel/obj/platform/unix/pthreadthreads.o] Error 1 Time used: 1.62 seconds ERROR: UNIXCompile(common/system) ERROR: Make failed. then several errors that complain lack of file syslibs.a I think this is due to something in my system, but I've tried reverting all ebuild dependencies to stable x86 and the problem isn't related to gtk+/glib nor to linux26-headers (it fails with 2.4 too). Same happens when I try to compile manually from sources. Could this error be related to NPTL?

This is most definately a nptl issue. I'd say build without, but as I know that's not something that can easily be worked with. If you CAN however, that would be the solution. I'll see if I can rectify the issue.
Created attachment 36768 [details, diff] ntpl patch as suggested by discussion Here's a patch fitting the reccomendations made on the Helix list in this thread: http://lists.helixcommunity.org/pipermail/helix-client-dev/2004-July/001963.html Only apply this patch on systems using ntpl
I've modified the ebuild adding Alex C's patch with these lines: IUSE="mozilla nptl" [...] src_unpack() { [...] if use nptl; then epatch ${FILESDIR}/nptl.patch fi } helixplayer compiles and works now
is this still an issue with newer versions?
Latest version of realplayer (same codebase) work without problems, so I think that this bug can be closed.
