Re: gst-plugins compilation fails on 2.8.2.1 in video4linux directory (errors in gstv4lelement.c)

Actually, this has been fixed in the 2.9.3 release, from the gst-plugins
changelog entry:

* sys/v4l/gstv4lelement.c: (gst_v4l_iface_supported):
* sys/v4l2/gstv4l2element.c: (gst_v4l2_iface_supported):
g_assert() can be a macro, don't use #ifdef inside it.

These changes have been folded into the gar-base.diff patch that is
included in the GARNOME tarball.

Applying the same fix to 2.8.2.1 should be a case of:

* downloading 2.9.3
* copying the contents of desktop/gst-plugins to your 2.8.2.1 directory
* running 'make clean; make install'

I'll be adding a more in-depth set of fixes to gst-plugins later next week,
which will fix (from CVS) a whole bunch of issues that GARNOMERs and others 
have reported -- but that'll get you going for the time being.
