Problem compiling gstreamer 0.4.0

Hi, I try to compile gstreamer-0.4.0 on my GNU/Linux system and I got this : [...] Making all in devhelp gmake[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/gstreamer-0.4.0/docs/devhelp' chmod +x html2xml.py cd ../gst && make make[4]: Entering directory `/tmp/gstreamer-0.4.0/docs/gst' make[4]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gstreamer-0.4.0/docs/gst' ./html2xml.py ../gst/html gmake[3]: ./html2xml.py: Command not found gmake[3]: *** [gstreamer.devhelp] Error 127 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gstreamer-0.4.0/docs/devhelp' gmake[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gstreamer-0.4.0/docs' gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gstreamer-0.4.0' gmake: *** [all] Error 2 It would be great if you could help me with this ! Best regards, Pierre.
Hi Piere, I found this post on the mailinglist from Thomas where he responds to someone with the same error as you. Please update the tar with info on wether this solved the issue or not. ----- html2xml.py starts out with #!/usr/bin/python2 and the new red hat beta doesn't have that, it probably comes with 2.2 Just make a symlink from python2.2 to /usr/local/bin/python2 and it will pass. I'm starting to think python sucks major ass since there are already more than three largely uncompatible versions in the wild... Too bad this python script comes from devhelp and I haven't had time or interest to rewrite it yet in something more able to stand the test of time.
this ought to be fixed in cvs, please try that and let us know if it works as we're doing a new release soon.
