I'm sorry, but GStreamer 0.10.36 is no longer supported. It's not clear
from your report if you notice this error or if you really care about
DV support here. Could you clarify ? Meanwhile, my recommandation would
be to not install this plugin in your legacy GStreamer 0.10 support. Be
aware that making the stack executable is not something we usually do
in GStreamer, but GStreamer depends on many libraries, I bet the DV
library we are using is to be looked at.
