Re: [Debian/SPARC] Totem 1.4.0: GStreamer 'playbin' error

["Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D." <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

Bart,

gst-plugin-base-0.10 has an external dependency on liboil [see the
configure file]. Your distro may have an installed version of liboil
that is making gstreamer 'unhappy'.

What to do...
(1) build and install the version of liboil found in ./bootstrap
(2) uninstall ,rebuild, and install gstreamer-0.10 and friends
for each app:
        * cd to appropriate dir
        * make uninstall  [this works for most apps in GARNOME]
        * make install
