He's right, that's what you need to do (or something equivalent) so that you know what codec you're missing. > I enabled some USE flags and tried to recompile with those. It > failed on some, again. I'm giving it another go now. So are you trying to figure out why you can't play those .mkv files, or just trying to get mplayer to build? I'll once again point out that mplayer seems to by dying (hasn't had a new version released in 3 years). Most users seem to have moved to mpv. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/MPlayer: Note MPlayer is not very actively maintained anymore, but still alive. However, its fork MPV is active and it comes with some extra features too. -- Grant
