Description Pierre 2002-09-10 23:38:11 UTC
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.
