Description Joao 2014-11-25 15:12:02 UTC
Hi,

I'm new to gStreamer and I'm trying to install it for a new iOS8 project I am working on. Unfortunately it won't install and i throws out this error.

I have downloaded multiple times the file, with different download managers, and I always got the same behavior (see image in attachment), any clues what can be happening? Or it's a bug?

Thanks in advance,

João Meneses

Final Failure

In the end it fails installation, maybe is something I am doing wrong, I don't know.

If you click on "install for me only", does it work then?
Comment 6 Joao 2014-11-25 16:37:03 UTC
When I click "install for me only" it allows me to continue, but then it fails in installation process as I show in the second attachment.
Comment 7 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2014-11-25 16:49:07 UTC
Is there any useful output if you run the installer from a terminal?

Terminal Installation

It don't work, same output.
Comment 9 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2014-11-27 10:30:39 UTC
This is probably the postinst script that fails here. It is running:

> mkdir -p ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/
> cp -r ~/Library/Developer/GStreamer/iPhone.sdk/Templates/* ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/

Which will of course fail if you don't install everything into your home directory but system wide. And probably also in other cases.

The postinst script should be made a bit more resilient :)

Ok, thanks for your time and patience.
