Since Suse goes out of its way to not include some plugins for Gstreamer that I need and the plugins are not available as rpms, I guess I need to compile and install myself. I downloaded the 0.10.1.tar.gz, done ./configure, make and, as root, install then ran SuSEconfig. It does not seemed to have installed although there were no fail messages. If I look with Yast, it still shows the old .8.11 version. Do I have to uninstall 0.8.11 along with all of its dependencies or is there another way to do this without having to uninstall probably hundreds of dependencies and reinstall them? Art
GStreamer 0.10.x is available from the GNOME directory in supplementary as gstreamer010 - building it from source won't make it show up in YaST, as YaST deals with RPMs. I'm working on packages of the plugins for it at the moment, but there are some build issues, also Fluendo recently released a free MP3 plugin for GStreamer 0.10, so I'll be looking into that too. -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org Packages for SUSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Make Poverty History: http://makepovertyhistory.org

Thanks for the info. Will try it. Art

Could you please provide a link to this rpm? I have not been able to find it, even with apt. Art

Do you mean the gstreamer010 package? It's in the gnome apt component. Otherwise check ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/GNOME -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org Packages for SUSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Make Poverty History: http://makepovertyhistory.org

I am not having much luck. Guess I need x86_64 rpm for it. Found how to do an rpm from tar.gz, but need to find the specs file for Suse. Know where I would find that? Checked /usr/rpm/pachages/SPECS, but only a gstreamer_plugines-mp3 is there. Art

.spec files are included in the src.rpm but if you're on x86_64 check ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/supplementary/GNOME/ - there isn't a gstreamer010 package yet, but I suppose it may be on the way... -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org Packages for SUSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Make Poverty History: http://makepovertyhistory.org

No, but you have to install the new version as an rpm package as the system will otherwise not know that you've upgraded it. The easiest way to do so is configuring the package for the prefix used for the official packages (see the .spec file from the SUSE gstreamer.src.rpm) and then using checkinstall instead of 'make install'.
