Thanks for the suggestion about PKG_CONFIG_PATH... that got me going, sort of. I had cloned gstreamer from the repo into a folder on my desktop. After pointing PKG_CONFIG to the pkgconfig folder for gstreamer inside that, I got the plugins-good to go one step further and say it was missing plugins-base 1.3.0.1. No big deal, clone and compile... still "missing". Hmm.. what if I copy plugins-base/pkgconfig contents into gstreamer/pkgconfig. OK! Now I've compiled all of it, although surely not in a politically correct way. Where *should* I have been cloning/compiling this stuff so that this voodoo was not needed, and more importantly, so the system would find and use the 1.3.0.1 libraries by default when calling gst-launch? I'm running Ubuntu 13.10. Thanks! //Reid ________________________________________ From: <a href="mailto:gstreamer-devel-bounces@lists.freedesktop.org">gstreamer-devel-bounces@lists.freedesktop.org</a> [gstreamer-devel-bounces@lists.freedesktop.org] on behalf of Tim Müller [tim@centricular.com] Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2014 12:36 PM To: <a href="mailto:gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org">gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org</a> Subject: Re: Trouble installing GST-Plugins-Good On Sat, 2014-03-08 at 06:49 +0000, Reid Blondell wrote: Hi Reid, <blockquote type="cite">In that conversation, a specific fix is mentioned, in Line 204 </blockquote> <blockquote type="cite">of /sys/v4l2src/v4l2calls.c/.

If you did install gstreamer git master yourself, you might need to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable and point it to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ (depending on the prefix that you installed into). Make sure this works and shows the right version: $ pkg-config --modversion gstreamer-1.0 If you did not install gstreamer core from source, then you have two options: a) install gstreamer + gst-plugins-base git master from source as well b) build gst-plugins-good 1.2.x against your distro packages ('git checkout -b 1.2 origin/1.2' or get a tarball) There's also the possibility of doing an 'uninstalled' GStreamer setup in your home directory that doesn't interfere with your system packages at all. See <a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/tree/scripts/create-uninstalled-setup.sh">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/tree/scripts/create-uninstalled-setup.sh</a> (Or a normal installed setup into your home directory, of course).
