No.
OK, googling I read about some vague relation ship between 'xpidl' and mozilla,
but it was not very clear.

OK so I tried:

USE="-mozilla" emerge vlc

On system 2, (the one where mythtv works and vlc fails as shown
above, it fails in the same place....?

Perhaps my command line attempt is less than sufficiently robust?

Ideas?
