Description Itay Perl 2012-03-03 12:35:38 UTC

librtmp is a library distributed with rtmpdump (it doesn't have a separate ebuild). Due to an error in the main Makefile, the binaries will link against a system librtmp.a if it exists, instead of the one built by the makefile.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for the patch. Have you reported it upstream?

Comment 3 Itay Perl 2012-03-09 18:32:52 UTC

You're right. Sent a report to the upstream mailing list.

Comment 4 Itay Perl 2012-03-09 21:59:49 UTC

Man, I made a fool of myself over at that mailing list.

Apparently librtmp is also built as a shared object which the executable got linked with. I also had an old librtmp.so in /usr/lib so rtmpdump crashed when I ran it. My patch made the executables link statically, which fixed my problem.

Anyway, the patch is unnecessary. Please close this bug report.
