So we each get a cookie. :) My plan worked, and after recompiling gpac-libgpac vlc can once again understand divx. The error I got when trying to rebuild openbox with an old libxlm2 (linked against the old libz) was: undefined reference to `gzopen@ZLIBprivate_1.0' Which makes sense because if I'm reading the change in r206709 right, that's exactly what happened (gzopen et al moved from the private interface to the public one). For delphij's sake I'm not sure if there is a "bug" here. For something with less subtle use of shared libs the solution would have been obvious. It's the fact that (as Garrett pointed out) vlc plays tricks that masked the real source of the problem.
