The command "files libogg | grep libogg.la" returns nothing... i have libogg.a, but not libogg.la I've tried to uninstall/re-install libogg... but still not .la. Now i'm stuck. Here is the log for failed compilation of vlc : -------------------------- ... flac.c:1098: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions flac.c: In function ‘OpenEncoder’: flac.c:1305: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘FLAC__stream_encoder_init_stream’ from incompatible pointer type /usr/include/FLAC/stream_encoder.h:1471: note: expected ‘FLAC__StreamEncoderWriteCallback’ but argument is of type ‘enum FLAC__StreamEncoderWriteStatus (*)(const struct FLAC__StreamEncoder *, const FLAC__byte *, unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned int, void *)’ mv -f .deps/libflac_plugin_la-flac.Tpo .deps/libflac_plugin_la-flac.Plo /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -std=gnu99 `top_builddir="../.." ../../vlc-config --cflags plugin libflac_plugin.la` -march=native -O3 -pipe -msse3 -Wall -Wextra -Wsign-compare -Wundef -Wpointer-arith -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Wvolatile-register-var -rpath '/usr/lib64/vlc/codec' -avoid-version -module -no-undefined -export-symbol-regex ^vlc_entry -shrext .so `top_builddir="../.." ../../vlc-config --ldflags plugin libflac_plugin.la` -Wl,-O1 -o libflac_plugin.la libflac_plugin_la-flac.lo `top_builddir="../.." ../../vlc-config -libs plugin libflac_plugin.la` ../../src/libvlccore.la /bin/grep: /usr/lib64/libogg.la: No such file or directory /bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib64/libogg.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/lib64/libogg.la' is not a valid libtool archive make[5]: *** [libflac_plugin.la] Error 1 make[5]: Leaving directory `/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-0.9.9a-r1/work/vlc-0.9.9a/modules/codec' make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/tmp/portage/ Reproducible: Always Portage 2.2_rc33 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/developer, gcc-4.4.0, glibc-2.10.1-r0, 2.6.30 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.30-x86_64-AMD_Athlon-tm-_64_X2_Dual_Core_Processor_4200+-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Wed, 01 Jul 2009 01:00:20 +0000 distcc 3.1 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [disabled] app-shells/bash: 4.0_p24 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.8-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.6.2-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r8 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r8 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.4.3-r3 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.0 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2, 1.11 sys-devel/binutils: 2.19.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.29 ABI="amd64" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64"

i ran lafilefixer --justfixit and i guess it fixed my problem. Now i have another error: " /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: .libs/libfreetype_plugin_la-freetype.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol `GetStyleFromFontStack' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[5]: *** [libfreetype_plugin.la] Error 1 make[5]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... "
i still have this error. It now has a bug of it's own : #281963
