Re: [dvd::rip] ntpl, USE flags, gentoo building?

it should work ok as long as you don't have nptlonly set.

NPTL is good, but its relatively new and not supported too well, especially by 
dvdrip. dvdrip uses the old linuxthreads fallback if available, and does very 
strange things if it can't use it.

the 0.97.2 ebuild that chandler put in the bugsystem seems to work ok, 
although you need the ebuilds for >=dev-perl/gtk2-perl-1.082 and 
gtk2-ex-formfactory as well to satisfy the dependencies. use g-cpan or find 
them in bugs.gentoo.org and see how you go.

i'm not sure whether you still need the nptl workaround selected or not, 
experimentation should tell you that pretty quickly :)
