Prelink fails on the abovementioned library. According to the Gentoo Prelink FAQ, this error occurs when the library was compiled without the -fPIC flag (and without the pic USE flag). So, I tried to find out which package the library belonged to: # ls -l /usr/lib/libdivxencore.so.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Apr 16 11:40 /usr/lib/libdivxencore.so.0 -> /usr/lib/libdivxencore.so # qpkg -v -f /usr/lib/libdivxencore.so media-libs/divx4linux-20030428-r1 * # emerge -pv divx4linux These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

divx4linux is a binary package, we can't do anything with it. If you want a completely prelinked system you need to remove divx4linux package and useflag.
