GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 347601
cannot run istanbul 0.2.0
Last modified: 2006-07-21 10:28:22 UTC
Hello, Zaheer suggested I file a bug report for my problems running the 0.2.0 release. So here I am: I have tried ./autogen.sh, what it outputs is this: + aclocal -I common aclocal: macro `AM_PATH_PYTHON' required but not defined aclocal: configure.ac: 196: macro `AM_GCONF_SOURCE_2' not found in library + exit 1 Since I did not know what that meant, I went ahead and used ./configure && make && make install. That time no problems, it installed. However, when I try to run istanbul, I get this: "You do not have the istximagesrc GStreamer plugin installed. This comes in the istanbul package, so please file a bug."
Same problem here. I would like to confirm this (on ubuntu dapper). More investigation needed on my side :) I had another problem regarding the compilation: I used aclocal-1.9/automake-1.9 instead of the defaut aclocal-1.7/automake-1.7 to succeed the autogen.sh step.
As we don't have a --plugindir=/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10 option during configure, the plugin is installed under /usr/local/lib/gstreamer-0.10 (at least, if you don't change the $prefix or $libdir variable)... So the solution is to set the env. variable GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/local/lib/gstreamer-0.10/ somewhere before Istanbul. (someone with a "good english" could add this in the README, please?)
