It is caused by: 1) the machines running different profiles 2) Different USE flag settings in /etc/portage/package.use 3) Differences in make.conf For instance, here's the same command on one of our machines: [ebuild R ] media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre7-r1 -3dfx -3dnow -3dnowext +X -aac -aalib +alsa (-altivec) -arts -bidi -bl -cdparanoia -cpudetection -custom-cflags -debug -dga -directfb -divx4linux -doc -dts -dv -dvb +dvd +dvdread -edl +encode +esd -fbcon -ggi +gif +gtk +i8x0 +ipv6 +jack -joystick +jpeg -libcaca +lirc -live -lzo +mad -matroska -matrox +mmx -mmxext +mythtv -nas +nls -nvidia +opengl +oss +png -real -rtc +samba +sdl +sse +sse2 +svga -tga -theora +truetype +v4l +v4l2 +vorbis +win32codecs -xanim -xinerama +xmms +xv +xvid -xvmc 0 kB Differs from both of yours again. Here's my package.use for the machine: dragonfly ~ # cat /etc/portage/package.use media-video/ffmpeg aac media-video/avidemux aac app-cdr/cdrtools unicode media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit debug -caps media-video/mplayer win32codecs x11-misc/xscreensaver new-login dragonfly ~ # and from make.conf: dragonfly ~ # cat /etc/make.conf | grep USE USE="userlocales gnome kde gtk gtk2 -arts -apm ladspa nptl nptlonly ladcca audiofile gimp gimpprint ppds usb alsa cdr dvd dvdr dvdread mmx sse sse2 caps jack jack-tmpfs fluidsynth tcltk sndfile v4l v4l2 firebird mysql flac xscreensaver samba i8x0 mythtv apache2 lirc mjpeg threads xvid transcode" dragonfly ~ # All that stuff works with your profile to set up the specific set of flags that you get when you emerge the package.
