Hi again,

Got some more info to share on this topic. I tried to install the kaa-base, kaa-imlib2 and kaa-metadata packages again and it seems that there is some problem the build of the kaa.imlib2 module thing.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] kaa-imlib2-0.2.3]# python setup.py install --record installed_files
POSIX shared memory enabled
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building 'kaa.imlib2._Imlib2module' extension

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpng
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] kaa-imlib2-0.2.3]#

Now, what does that error message mean ?
The linker can't find the library file "png" or does the linker think that "-lpng" is a file path...

-lpng means it is looking for a file called libpng.so or libpng.a. which should be in /usr/lib (from -L/usr/lib).

This means that you need to install png development package. I would expect just about all distributions to include these libraries out of the box.

After adding the "libpng-devel" package, the build of kaa-imlib2 completed normally and I was able to reinstall Freevo without problems:-)

Installation of Freevo has really been difficult this time, compared to the previous HTPC projects (for example the one before this when I installed version Freevo 1.5.4). I believe that much of the trouble I'm experiencing comes out of the fact that I didn't install Fedora as a "Development workstation", for some reason I instead selected "web-server" since I thought that it would give me a smaller "footprint".

Many thanks for the quick and accurate help.
