• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Jonathan Smith (RETIRED) 2005-04-23 11:13:55 UTC]

when i `emerge gpm`, mplayer merges correctly. when this package is missing, mplayer gives the following error:

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3-20050110/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: libgpm.so.1, needed by /usr/lib/libaa.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

seems to me that you unmerged the gpm lib at some point. the aalib has a optional dependency on gpm if you compile it with USE="gpm". mplayer itself dont need to depend on gpm

[Comment 2 Jonathan Smith (RETIRED) 2005-04-25 09:36:14 UTC]

arg! right you are. sorry for the trouble

aalib and mplayer are happily compiled without gpm
