freeglut seems to work better than glut on my AMD64 system, but the ebuild's dependencies lists >=media-libs/glut-3.7.1. If freeglut is already intalled, glut will also be installed. This caused a problem when freeglut is updated because glut blocks freeglut. Unmerging glut isn't the answer because jahshaka will re-install glut when running a revdep-rebuild. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge freeglut 2. emerge jahshaka Actual Results: glut will be installed. Expected Results: freeglut should have satisfied the dependency. All the other ebuilds that I have checked use virtual/glut as a depend instead of >=media-libs/glut-3.7.1. I have tested this on jahshaka and it seems to work fine. DEPEND="virtual/x11 media-video/avifile virtual/glut >=media-libs/freetype-2.1.4 >=x11-libs/qt-3" (Note that >=x11-libs/qt-3 should also be checked against Bug#:97535)
Not just an x86_64 issue. I just emerged jahshaka-2.0_rc1 and the ebuild still calls for >=media-libs/glut-3.7.1. FYI - glut was last updated in 1998 while freeglut is still in active development. Is there any reason to avoid freeglut for jahshaka?

Is there any reason to avoid freeglut for jahshaka? Agreed, plus with new X, we can just use virtual/glut instead.
This is an X-related issue and a trivial fix, so I just went ahead and fixed it.
