When trying to emerge mplayer with +X use flag (I think), it fails to compile with the errors pertaining to libgif.so. The errors given are: /usr/lib/libgif.so: undefined reference to `XDestroyImage' /usr/lib/libgif.so: undefined reference to `XGetWindowAttributes' /usr/lib/libgif.so: undefined reference to `XGetImage' /usr/lib/libgif.so: undefined reference to `XGetPixel' /usr/lib/libgif.so: undefined reference to `XQueryColors' The reason it's giving errors is because it tries to link libgif.so without passing the -lX11 flag when linking mencoder: cc -I../libvo -I../../libvo -I/usr/X11R6/include -march=athlon -pipe -O2 -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -Ilibmpdemux -Iloader -Ilibvo -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include -o mencoder mencoder.o mp_msg-mencoder.o cpudetect.o codec-cfg.o spudec.o playtree.o playtreeparser.o asxparser.o vobsub.o subreader.o sub_cc.o find_sub.o m_config.o m_option.o parser-cfg.o m_struct.o unrarlib.o libao2/afmt.o divx4_vbr.o libvo/aclib.o libvo/osd.o libvo/sub.o libvo/font_load.o libvo/font_load_ft.o xvid_vbr.o parser-mecmd.o libmpcodecs/libmpencoders.a -ldivxencore -lmp3lame -lvorbis -logg libmpcodecs/libmpcodecs.a mp3lib/libMP3.a liba52/liba52.a libmpeg2/libmpeg2.a loader/libloader.a loader/dshow/libDS_Filter.a loader/dmo/libDMO_Filter.a libaf/libaf.a libmpdemux/libmpdemux.a input/libinput.a postproc/libswscale.a osdep/libosdep.a -Llibmpdvdkit2 -lmpdvdkit libavcodec/libavcodec.a -lvorbis -logg -ldv -lfaad -ldivxdecore -lmp3lame -lvorbis -logg -lxvidcore -lm -lpng -lz -lz -ljpeg -lasound -ldl -lpthread -lgif -lsmbclient -L/usr/lib -lfribidi -lpthread -ldl -rdynamic -lm When adding the -lX11 flag to cc, it compiles correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change USE flag to include +X (I think it's +X, could be -xmms according to some people) 2. emerge mplayer-1.0pre5 Actual Results: The above errors were spitted out when compiling mplayer, and mplayer failed to compile. Expected Results: Compile mplayer properly with the given use flags.

Actually, it seems to be the +gif flag. The following is a patch to the mplayer-1.0_pre5-r5 ebuild: 448c448 < sed -e "s:GIF_LIB =:GIF_LIB = -lgif:" -i config.mak --- > sed -e "s:GIF_LIB =:GIF_LIB = -lgif -lX11:" -i config.mak
Try it now and tell me if you get the same errors.
Thanks Chris, it works great now ;)
