[gst-devel] clean gstreamer installation

[Eric Zhang]

Hi, gstreamer-devel:

    Unfortunately, in my Ubuntu 7.10, trying to uninstall the gstreamer 
package(sudo apt-get remove gstreamer-xxx) will also remove a lot of 
packages with dependency, some are very important for gnome. And there 
is no updated gstreamer packages in Ubuntu 7.10's repository.  :(

    So, I have to download the latest source package, compile and 
install them with `--prefix=/usr'. This will overwrite the older 
gstreamer files  and though it's not graceful but it works.
