I'm having a heck of a time getting firefox setup so it can handle quicktime videos.
I understand I need mplayer to be installed but haven't been able to emerge it. I'm hoping someone will recognize what this problem is... I certainly do not. But I do see others having trouble related to multi-core machines and mplayer... So NOTE: my hardware is not Multi-core. Its an intel 3.06 Ghz with 2gb of ram. Maybe its some thing related to the use flags... but there are so many listed as + and - ones... it's just confusing to me. Displayed below are first the Use flags that come up and then the tail of the build attempt. Use the provided url to view the full output if desired.
