Ok I have gnash 0.8.1 installed on my system problem is it doesnt support youtube i get a large grey screen where the movie should be playing
I checked this website for the specs http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/release-0.8.4.txt It says it supports powerpc's I tried installing Gnash 0.8.4 and it downloads great unpacked it but when i try to run the installation I need to configure it and this is what i get in terminal

user1@user1-desktop:/opt/gnash-0.8.4$ ./configure
checking build system type... powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking for gcc... gcc

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

Config.log as follows

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by gnash configure 0.8.4, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61. Invocation command line was

Please help I am running xubuntu gutsy gibbon 7.10, 32 bit on a powerpc64 (playstation 3)i would like to know if it's even possible to install this program thank you

you ever thought about getting all the development libraries before you compile. your missing a bunch.

I'm a noob to linux so i dont know alot about installing software

well use your package manager and get your development packages.
but I bet if you google around some one has built a deb package for that system. Ubuntu is a power user system. they give the power to the user to download pre built stuff so they do not have to learn how to build stuff. but you will find in your synaptic package manager there is a bunch of development stuff. put that stuff on the hard drive now when you compile it will grab a libraries us it it may have to grab 300 to a thousand libraries the are header files. Ubuntu is very good about giving the stuff you need it is up to you to find it. thats why we are here.

ok I just built it on my system and I googled around and ubuntu has one already to install for you you just need to google around. now I have to find out why this one is so much better that adobe. flash.

ok i did alot of crap to get this far i now have this error message

OK here's what i need help with I downloaded the file unpacked it using command ran the "./configure" and got these warnings



WARNING: without --enable-docbook we will use the cached
documentation files included in the gnash distribution.
If you change files in doc/C, you should --enable-docbook.

Gnash should still compile even with these warnings. If it doesn't,
report the warnings as a bug.

OK so i went ahead and ran "make" and got this

gst/GstUtil.cpp: In static member function ‘static bool gnash::media::GstUtil::check_missing_plugins(GstCaps*)’:
gst/GstUtil.cpp:113: error: ‘gst_install_plugins_supported’ was not declared in this scope

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 2

umm dont understand this part but i went ahead and tried the "make install" which is supposed to make an install and install software this is what i got

Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/local/lib/gnash

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one
of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

Libraries have been installed in:

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries

- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable

- use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

Ok lemme know something please people been without flash linux for a year now thank god for my laptop

UPDATE/UPDATE: I now run "./configure" and receive no errors but yet One warning

here's as it is in terminal

WARNING: without --enable-docbook we will use the cached
documentation files included in the gnash distribution.
If you change files in doc/C, you should --enable-docbook.

Gnash should still compile even with these warnings. If it doesn't,
report the warnings as a bug.

OK how do i go about enabling docbook or wtfever it is? please help i went from 20 errors and warnings to 1 warning i am almost there

Also I get this the same error during "make" of gnash-0.8.4

What do i need to do to get this message to go the hell away? thank you

Hi theseph,

I googled the ‘gst_install_plugins_supported’ error and found this patch.

Don't know whether it will solve your problem or not.

SOLVED

nice to see you again norobro somehow i avoided that "bug" through a long process what i did was installed gnash 0.8.2-0.8.4 when i did this i did not receive that error message but when i installed it still didnt pick up gnash-0.8.4 as the plugin so in terminal i had to move the libgnashplugin.so from .mozilla/plugins to /usr/lib/gnash in doing so i now see gnash 0.8.4 install in my plugins in firefox yay!!!

And after all this is still freezes when watching youtube :-( ho well i figured flash out on ppc
