Installing Software giving me an error, I install what is requested and it wont work.


I have been trying to install Diva, the new Gnome video editor which runs on a python compiler, it is found at this site http://www.diva-project.org/ and I have also been trying to install Kino for KDE, and that you install from source and that is giving me almost the same error. What happens with Diva is this I follow the directions to compile using the command scons PREFIX=/usr and it gives me this error.
Quote:
[root@Nauntilus diva-0.0.2]# scons PREFIX=/usr
scons: Reading SConscript files ...

Dependency check:

Checking for pkg gstreamer-0.10 >= 0.10.4 ... (cached) no
[root@Nauntilus diva-0.0.2]#
Then I went and installed the newest version of gstreamer and it still gives me the error, so I try it again and it says already installed but it still wont diva install.

Then I go to install Kino from source and I type in ./configure and it goes so far and gives me this error.
Quote:
checking for LIBDV... configure: error: Package requirements (libdv >= 0.103) were not met.
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively you may set the LIBDV_CFLAGS and LIBDV_LIBS environment variables
to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for
more details.
[root@Nauntilus kino-0.8.1]#
I did the same thing I did with Diva and went and installed that file and it still gives me the same error. These are near the same errors and I dont know if there is just something I am doing wrong, or if my computer is just being stupid.
All help is appreciated. I am doing this on a Dell Inspiron 5100 Laptop and with Mandriva 2006.

You need to install the gstreamer and libdv devel packages.

I did that and it still gives me the same error, maybe I did it wrong, but one of them was an RPM and the other was source. The one I probably did wrong was the source if any, but then I also found an RPM for that File too and so I Dont understand why I am still getting this error.

The devel package isn't installed so you need to install that using rpmdrake. Unfortunately I can't give you the exact name of the package since I don't use Mandriva anymore. It should be something like libgstreamer-devel or gstreamer-devel.
