Hi I had a lot of strange problems with mplayer the last two days.
I was busy doing a system upgrade which failed halfway (due to the libxcb upgrade thing). This left my mplayer broken since ffmpeg was upgraded i guess. No problem, just emerge mplayer again. Tried it, and the emerge got stuck at "Checking for freetype >= 2.0.9 ...". It just hanged there. So I tried to emerge a previous version of mplayer with the same results. Next I read the abuild and disabled all the use flags pulling in freetype. Then it got stuck on libmp3-lame, so I also disabled the mp3 use flag and tried again. This time configure succeeded and it is now busy compiling. revdep-rebuild tells me that everything except mplayer is fine? Has anyone else experienced this? Regards Dirk
