Also, I compiling vlc with the following USE flags:

Note that vlc also complains with exactly the same error message if I use my old
USE flags (revert the * USE flags).

This is not AMD64 specific -- it just seems like you currently don't have a GL provider installed, and the ebuild does not have an opengl? ( virtual/opengl ) DEPEND.

Is GL working on your system?

[Comment 2 Chris White (RETIRED) 2005-01-08 06:44:48 UTC]

Bah, I did miss the opengl dep, bad Chris!  No Cookie!  Well anyways, the dep is back in so things should work.  If not, please reopen the bug.

Thanks, works now. Did finally install nvidia-kernel et al.
