Even with "-arts" in USE, build fails because this results in "configure --disable-arts --enable-artsc" -- so arts is still not entirely ignored. Work-around: unmerge arts, merge gst-plugins, re-merge arts. NOTE: Prevents build of current gnome if current kde already built. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u kde-base/arts 2. emerge media-libs/gst-plugins 3. Actual Results: ... 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] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gst-plugins-0.6.0-r4/work/gst-plugins-0.6.0/ext/avifile' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gst-plugins-0.6.0-r4/work/gst-plugins-0.6.0/ext' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gst-plugins-0.6.0-r4/work/gst-plugins-0.6.0' make: *** [all] Error 2 Expected Results: Successful build.

see other bug for solution, not a gst problem. And the gst tests do disable arts, the problem really is the local repository of avifile having it's own arts checks or something. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 17921 ***
