media-video/totem-2.20.1 can't configure successfully. It fails to find gstreamer plugins. But if I untar the sources, apply the patches and run './configure' even in an sandbox shell, it works properly. I've found that in the gnome2.eclass, the environment value "GST_REGISTRY" added to work around gst-inspect in gnome2_src_configure points to no file. I suggest the following modification: # GST_REGISTRY is to work around gst-inspect trying to read/write /root GST_REGISTRY="${S}/registry.xml" econf "$@" ${G2CONF} || die "configure failed" replace by: # GST_REGISTRY is to work around gst-inspect trying to read/write /root cp "/root/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.i686.xml" "${S}/registry.xml" GST_REGISTRY="${S}/registry.xml" econf "$@" ${G2CONF} || die "configure failed" I'm convinced it is not a great patch (don't test if the registry exists, can't adapt to gstreamer version, ...), but now the emerge works. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge totem 2. 3.
> cp "/root/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.i686.xml" Uh... this definitely is a no-go.

could you list your installed gst-* plugins, post your emerge --info and attach the config.log ?

similar problem here: gst-inspect-0.10 works fine if I already have the registry. If I remove it I get this: $ gst-inspect-0.10 (gst-inspect-0.10:26366): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: Error initializing: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal So that might be due to sandboxing and/or X not running. Here it is through a ssh session without X forwarding that I trigger this. If I add X forwarding, gst-inspect-0.10 works as expected. This causes me totem configure failures as the user compiling it cannot access to X. I haven't been able to trace it to what tries to open an X session though.
You may want to look at bug 216009
even though I can reproduce this problem by running commands by hand, preparing /root or /var/tmp/portage to trigger this bug yields no result. Closing worksforme. If you can still reproduce this bug, please attach config.log (again), emerge --info (especially FEATURES) and ls -l /var/tmp/portage or /root according to your FEATURES.
