Also, when "emerge sync"ing, I got this: >>> Updating Portage cache: 100% Calculating world dependencies |QA Notice: sed in global scope: media-plugins/gs t-plugins-ffmpeg-0.8.0 ...done!
gettext's autopoint script needs cvs to run, you can fix this problem emerging dev-util/cvs. I've committed a patch which adds buildtime dependencies for the tools needed to bootstrap vlc. Thanks for reporting. QA Notices on gstream aren't related to that bug or media-video.
thx for the fix!h compiling cvs now.. it's about time i emerged that anyway.
