You have xmms in your USE flags (default gentoo USE flags, I assume). So when you'va tried to install mplayer, portage wants to install xmms too because mplayer can use xmms or parts of it (I don't how) if you want. If you don't want to do so, add "-xmms" to the list of the USE flags in /etc/make.conf (your all system won't use xmms as an dependance but xmms can be installed as a standalone program), or "media-video/mplayer -xmms" to avoid xmms to be an dependance of mplayer only. I hope, I'm clear ^^' , I'm french Pierrick C. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
