Subject: Re: configure: error: xpidl compiler not found
I have installed xulrunner-1.9-rc2 on my gentoo system.
I had to change these two lines in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libxul.pc to
compile gecko-mediaplayer.
I know this "bug" is reladted to xulrunner not to gecko-mediaplayer
but at least with these changes it works.

Here comes the changes. Could be useful for someone.
