I had wxGTK-2.4.2-r3 merged. I ran emerge sync, which caused media-video/vlc-0.8.1-r3 to get upgraded. Also wxGTK got updated to 2.6.0-r1 by the vlc ebuild. Afterward, I unmerged wxGTK-2.4.2-r3, since I do not have any other packages which use wxGTK. Running revdep-rebuild told me that vlc needed to be re-emerged, so I re-emerged it. Now all I get is the remote control interface, no gui shows up. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sync 2. emerge -up vlc 3. emerge unmerge =wxGTK-2.4* 4. revdep-rebuild 5. vlc Actual Results: Only the remote control interface shows up. Expected Results: The wxwindows gui should appear. irasnyd@yuki ~ $ emerge info Portage 2.0.51.21-r1 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.3-20050110, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.11-morph6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-morph6 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.11 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.8 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r8 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.16 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fforce-addr -fweb -ftracer -funit-at-a-time" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fforce-addr -fweb -ftracer -funit-at-a-time -fvisibility-inlines-hidden" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig candy ccache distlocks fixpackages sandbox sfperms strict userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.ccccom.com http://gentoo.llarian.net/ http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/gentoo/" LANG="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowex 3dnowext S3TC X a52 aac acpi aim alsa avi berkdb bigger-fonts bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr cups curl dvd dvdr dvdread fbcon flac foomaticdb freetype gdbm gif gimpprint gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal imlib imlib2 jabber java jpeg kdeenablefinal mad matroska mmap mmx mmx2 mmxext mozilla moznocompose moznoirc moznomail mp3 mpeg ncurses nptl nptlonly offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl oscar pam pdflib png ppds python radeon readline real rtc sdl slang spell sse ssl truetype truetype-fonts unicode usb userlocales vim-with-x vorbis win32codecs xine xml xml2 xprint xv xvid zlib video_cards_radeon userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS

Seems like vlc's configure is tfu. I've masked it until I can fix it completely. A new version of vlc is expected soon anyway.
Ok I'm modifying vlc to support wxWindows 2.6, but this will require many changes. I took a couple of patches from vlc's svn and now I'm trying to fix them, but you need to wait still for a bit.
I've committed a new version of vlc-0.8.1-r3 (see for PATCHLEVEL="2") with a big patch, partially from VLC svn, which made it compile and run with wxGTK 2.6. It still needs testing before unmasking for all, but if you want to try it, unmask it and tell if something breaks.
Ok tried and tested with a couple of friends and works fine. Ok for me to unmask.
