Description Jacob Farkas 2003-06-06 21:07:09 UTC

When I tried to install gnome, it would error out installing gnome-media.
Gnome-media said it couldn't find gstreamer. I tried emerging
gstreamer-0.6.1-r1, gstreamer-0.6.0-r2, and installing gstreamer-0.6.1 from
source from gstreamer.sourceforge.net.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. 'emerge gnome-media'
Actual Results:  
The following error message was printing out and the emerge failed.
checking for   gstreamer-0.6 >= 0.5.2 gstreamer-libs-0.6 >= 0.5.2              
 libgnomeui-2.0 >= 1.102.0... Package gstreamer-libs-0.6 was not found in the
pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gstreamer-libs-0.6.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gstreamer-libs-0.6' found
checking for                gstreamer-0.5 >= 0.5.2 gstreamer-libs-0.5 >= 0.5.2 
   libgnomeui-2.0 >= 1.102.0... Package gstreamer-0.5 was not found in the
pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gstreamer-0.5.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gstreamer-0.5' found
configure: error: you need GStreamer installed

!!! ERROR: gnome-extra/gnome-media-2.2.1.1 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 304, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed 

Expected Results:  
Gnome-media should have installed successfully.

I finally found a workaround to the problem by creating a link from
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gstreamer-0.6.pc to /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gstreamer-libs-0.6.pc
Either gstreamer needs to create that link so gnome-media will find it, or
gnome-media needs to check for the gstreamer-0.6.pc file.

Comment 1 Link M Dupont 2003-06-06 23:28:04 UTC

The package gst-plugins provides /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gstreamer-libs-0.6.pc

gnome-media's got a dependency on both gstreamer and gst-plugins. Try re-emerging gst-plugins, and check for gstreamer-libs-0.6.pc. Then try emerging gnome-media again.

Comment 2 Jacob Farkas 2003-06-07 00:24:55 UTC

gst-plugins 0.6.1 is installed. I tried unmerging and re-emerging it in my process of trying to solve the problem and the emerge was successful, so it seems that gst-plugins 0.6.1 may not be installing that file correctly.

can you confirm the file mentioned in #1 really is there ? Or just give the full output of 'ls /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gstreamer-*' .

And also please provide your 'emerge info' output as requested in the bug submission form.

Comment 4 Jacob Farkas 2003-06-07 12:58:36 UTC

/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ls -la gstreamer-*
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          408 2003-06-06 15:56 gstreamer-0.6.pc
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          324 2003-06-06 15:56 gstreamer-control-0.6.pc
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           35 2003-06-06 18:49 gstreamer-libs-0.6.pc -> /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gstreamer-0.6.pc

The last one is the link that I created by hand to make it work.

Here's my emerge info (sorry, I missed where it asked for it on the bug form):

It might just somehow be a problem with my system, since I've been running into a couple of other packages that won't install and complain about missing files for packages that are installed. I didn't do anything different from the last time I installed gentoo on this computer to get to this point though. I followed all the steps in the install documentation, and up to the point i encountered this error I had only done a boostrap, emerge system, emerge gentoo-sources, and emerge xfree, so I'm not sure what could have broken along the way.

hmm remove the link, this should've been provided by gst-plugins. please attach the output of 'qpkg -l gst-plugins' .

neither do i and thats real weird. can you re-emerge gst-plugins and attach the full output ?

Comment 8 Jacob Farkas 2003-06-07 17:06:00 UTC

Created attachment 12921 [details]
emerge gst-plugins > output 2>&1

This is the output of emerge gst-plugins

Comment 9 Jacob Farkas 2003-06-07 17:09:12 UTC

I removed the link and went back to check after this emerge and the gstreamer-libs-0.6.pc file is there. I'm not sure what happened differently though, as I emerged gst-plugins when i was trying to solve this at first and it wouldn't install the gstreamer-libs-0.6.pc file. 
At this point though I have gnome-media and gstreamer both installed and I was just re-installing gst-plugins, rather than installing it all with no supporting packages.
Anyways, I guess it works now, although I'm completely confused as to why it didn't work before. :-\

i have no idea either, but since it isn't reproducable there is nothing to work on. closing.
