[gentoo-user] ERROR: media-libs/smpeg-0.4.4-r6 failed

[Ernie Schroder]

I've figured out most of my 11 month updates, but this one is driving me mad. 
I would appreciate some advice here. I still have a few apps to update that 
fail like this:

checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** Could not run SDL test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for 
the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means SDL was incorrectly installed
*** or that you have moved SDL since it was installed. In the latter case, you
*** may want to edit the sdl-config script: /usr/bin/sdl-config
configure: error: *** SDL version 1.2.0 not found!

As you see, smpeg depends (hard, irrefutable dependency, not optional)
on libsdl, in a version equal to or greater than 1.2.0 (I use 1.2.8, as
you can also see).

What is the status of libsdl on your box? Is it installed? If so, what
version?

It appears that either an incorrect version is installed, or the
installed version is broken (if it was not installed at all, smpeg would
have installed it before installing itself, so clearly there is some
reason that Portage thinks it didn't have to).

HTH,
Holly

OK so I re-merged libsdl for the 3rd time and smpeg built successfully. Darned 
if I know what caused this.

It has been a long time since you updated, Ernie!
