If you not familiar with this site, you may want to check it out. It comes in handy when trying to find what file belongs to what package when you don't have it yet. https://www.portagefilelist.de/index.php I found this: https://www.portagefilelist.de/index.php?fs=*libva*glx*#panchor In case that link doesn't work, I searched for this. *libva*glx* It shows the following, for others who don't want to search. Filename Filepath Category Package Version Arch libva-glx.so.1.4000.0 /usr/lib64/libva-glx.so.1.4000.0 media-libs media-libs/libva-compat 1.8.3-r2 amd64 libva-glx.so.1 /usr/lib64/libva-glx.so.1 media-libs media-libs/libva-compat 1.8.3-r2 amd64 libva-glx.so.1.4000.0.debug /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libva-glx.so.1.4000.0.debug media-libs media-libs/libva-compat 1.8.3-r2 amd64 If that is the exact ones you are looking for, that's where they come from. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)
