5 Yeah, thanks, but the dvd flag was turned on. Made no difference. I'm
6 trying to understand the ebuild now. There's a section that says
7
8 use xine || G2CONF="${G2CONF} --gstreamer-enable=yes"
9
10 but it seems that perhaps it should be written
11
12 if use xine; then
13 G2CONF="${G2CONF] --gstreamer-enable=no"
14 else
15 G2CONF="${G2CONF] --gstreamer-enable=yes"
16 fi
17
18 or maybe the first one should be "--gstreamer-disable=yes" -- have to
19 look at the configure options too.

21 Soon as I figure out how to produce the checksum file for the ebuilds,
22 I'll put this to the test.
