PlaybackException on gentoo/amd64

[dkg]

Hi all,

I just purchased the Linux version (been using the Windows version for years) and I'm installing it on an existing Gentoo/~amd64 home server. I think I'm close to having it working, but playback is a no-go so far. I can't get the mplayer binary that shipped with the client to work because I get this error:

[dave@mab client]$ ./mplayer
./mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libfaac.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[dave@mab client]$

I do have faac installed, but it's 64-bit only (libfaac is not in emul-linux-x86-medialibs or -soundlibs). Instead, I created a symlink to my system mplayer, turned on the miniclient log and found:

So, sage is passing a parameter not recognized by stock mplayer. I decided to hack up a ruby script to named "mplayer" that would strip -stream-buffer-size and pass the rest of the parameters to mplayer. This had the following results:

Okay ... so before I request sage's mplayer source (where is the mplayer GPL license in the client package, BTW?!), does anyone know how to either ..

a) get a 32-bit libfaac build on gentoo/amd64, preferably with an ebuild?
b) otherwise get a 64-bit build of mplayer with the options sage needs?

I've seen one or two other posts in the forums, but none seemed to have a complete solution to this problem. And I thought it would be relatively painless since I was starting with Gentoo (even with 64-bit).

Thanks.

Does that help? I don't run the client in linux, only the server bits.

No, unfortunately. I have those packages installed, the problem is they don't contain a build for libfaac. I have most of the server parts working. Thanks, though.
