Re-emerge giflib.

It seems a bit rude to me to only post an error message and expect help
though.

So what are we supposed to do with this?

[Snip - compile error]

It appears to be a problem with the giflib header(s). Recompile giflib
like this:

emerge -av --oneshot media-libs/giflib

Then try to compile mplayer again. If that doesn't work, you could
disable gif support in /etc/portage/package.use, though that's just a
workaround.

Really doesn't usally matters, but try ether ebuilds and gentlier

Indeed. That's why I didn't help.

I came across this the other day so the information was fresh in my mind. I
certainly wouldn't have looked anything up to help someone who just copied
and pasted some text into a newsreader especially when I found the solution
in a minute or two by searching the forums and bugs database.

I've solved this problem by forcing the installation of the old version of
libdv. emerge =libdv-0.99-r1

By the way, can someone tell me how to keep an old version if I emerge a new
one ? It seems portage crashes a necessary library when updating libdv.
