------- Comment #4 from Steve Fink  2007-06-05 21:55 UTC -------
The /usr/lib/libcaca broken symlink is because the libcaca-devel RPM doesn't
depend on the libcaca RPM, which is kind of silly. I installed the libcaca RPM
and now have a correct symlink. ldd /usr/lib/libcaca.so now shows all of the
needed libraries -- but gstreamer still can't load it.

Ah! If I recompile gst-plugins-good after installing the libcaca RPM, ldd on
libgstcacasink.so now points to libcaca.

So there's certainly a bug in libcaca-devel (it should depend on libcaca). I
wonder if there's also a bug in the autoconf caca autodetection, where it is
happy to build the cacasink plugin (incorrectly) when there's no actual libcaca
to link to?
