Description Ortwin Glueck 2005-05-11 14:07:23 UTC

I have run emerge --depclean and after that mplayer complained about missing libtermcap.so. I guess it should be added as a dependency of mplayer.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Did you read the big fat warning about emerge depclean and the instructions in there? Also revdep-rebuild is a useful tool.

Comment 2 Ortwin Glueck 2005-05-11 14:36:59 UTC

Yes, sure I read the warning. Seems like mplayer uses libtermcap as an optional library but can be compiled perfectly without it. re-emerging it solved the problem. Sorry for wasting time.
