mjpegtools2-dev was just re-added yesterday. I was able to build gst-plugins.

Obviously providing a good error report will be a good way to move towards getting it solved. No reports-->everyone thinks it's working or else waits around for "someone else" to report it. I'm gradually plowing through a huuuuge pile of kde3 build errors, but really do need feedback about what's broken and then whether fixes fix things for anyone other than me:) dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
