In gst-plugins-base it finds all the Qt items it tests for, but then fails: (etc) On one of my 9.1 systems I had installed OpenEXR in February (a dependency of blender). On that system gst-plugins-bad-0.16.3 gave some warnings about a missing include direcotry for OpenEXR (include/OpenEXR) - presumably the pkgconfig file (for 2.4.1) was incorrect and not pointing to the prefix (/usr), then it failed to find a specific header which indeed was not installed by that version. The workaround is to hide the pc file during the build, although a better workaround is probably not to build these packages in the first place. ĸen Hi Ken, I know you've probably already tried this, but can you try doing an 'ldconfig' and logging in and out? I experienced this issue a few weeks ago, and that's what I did to solve it. I have no idea why it happened though or if that was even the true solution unfortunately. - Doug -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Tried it now on a different system for -base after that failed as before, it made no difference (and there is no OpenEXR on this system, so -bad was ok).

I always install openexr and at times have to hunt for patches to get things to work correctly. I never do a partial rebuild of an existing system, as I do not like the eventual headache of stubborn packages not wanting to play nice.
