Some info you might find useful. I'm coming to the thread late, so I might have overlooked something. I have the same setup as you (multilib, abi_x86_32 enabled per-package) except I enabled ffmpeg and disabled libav. Here's how I set that up: # egrep -ir "libav|ffmpeg" /etc/portage/ /etc/portage/make.conf: ffmpeg -libav /etc/portage/package.use/abi_x86_32:virtual/ffmpeg abi_x86_32 /etc/portage/package.use/emul-linux-x86:media-video/ffmpeg abi_x86_32 If you were to reverse those settings for you, does that help? -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
