When attempting to build mplayerplug-in, configure fails with the following error: checking for mozilla-plugin... Package mozilla-plugin was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `mozilla-plugin.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'mozilla-plugin' found configure: error: Unable to find gecko sdk Of course, I'm using Firefox, so the above file doesn't exist. And it's clearly *not necessary*, because I can `emerge -K mozilla && emerge mplayerplug-in && emerge -C mozilla` and it works just fine in Firefox. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. check that mozilla is *not* installed 2. emerge mplayerplug-in 3. Actual Results: above error Expected Results: mplayerplug-in should build cooperatively provided I have *any* supported browser installed.

I'm not completely sure of the issue, but do you have net-libs/gecko-sdk installed? Sounds like the issue to me, and I have mplayerplug-in installed on the wifes' computer and it works (no mozilla installed there).
IIRC it used to build *fine* without Mozilla installed, but now it only builds when moz itself not just a derivative is installed -- emerge -C mozilla breaks it again. No changes in any other dep packages or anything interesting.
Which version are you trying to install? Please use mplayerplug-in-2.80, all older versions may have this problem. Please reopen the bug if it's still a problem with the new version of mplayerplug-in.
~amd64 only gets me up to 2.70 right now. problem was with 2.66. perhaps 2.80 should be tested on x86_64 hardware... I'll do that if I can find time :P
