[gentoo-user] mplayer configure weirdness

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

I had this problem. I then successfully compiled with USE="-openal"
but about couple days ago I tried with USE="openal" and
all went smoothly.
I use media-video/mplayer-9999.
