I just tried to emerge gst-plugins, with no arts or kde-USE-flags set, and it fails with the following error: >>>>> mkdir .libs grep: /usr/kde/3/lib/libartsc.la: No such file or directory sed: can't read /usr/kde/3/lib/libartsc.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/kde/3/lib/libartsc.la' is not a valid libtool archive make[3]: *** [libgstwincodec.la] Fehler 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gst-plugins-0.6.0-r4/work/gst-plugins-0.6.0/ext/avifile' <<<<< Needless to say that I have absolutely no KDE-stuff on my box. :) So the message itself is no surprise, but the question why it's needed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
cd /usr/lib grep -r "libartsc" . See what it is that links it. this is what happens when something links to arts and has its dependencies removed from beneath its feet. can be solved by doing qpkg -f <file that has artsc content> and rebuild that.
Thanks a lot! It was my fault of course, fixed the dep on avifile and it now works fine. Sorry for bothering you with that. :)
