[SOLVED] problem installing gst-python slackbuild, not sure whats wrong

Cultist · 06-26-2011, 09:06 PM

Quick background: trying to install pidgin 2.9.0 using AlienBob's 2.5.something slackbuild (only one I could find), just edited the version and it seems to run fine. But it has an error about needing farsight, so I go to install farsight. Farsight has gst-python as a dependency, so I go to install that.

Now, when I try to install gst-python, it errors out and none of the files mention any dependencies, so I have absolutely no idea why this is not installing. Dependency error or something else? no idea.

Here are the last several lines from the build process. I can post more if needed.

Code:

make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/gst-python-0.10.19/examples'
Making all in plugin
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/SBo/gst-python-0.10.19/plugin'
  CC     gstpythonplugin.lo
  CCLD   libgstpython.la
/usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libgstpython.la] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/gst-python-0.10.19/plugin'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/gst-python-0.10.19'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I think the problem is where it says could not read symbols, but I'm not sure how to fix that error. Anyone help would be greatly appreciated.

First of all, the Slackware source tree should contain a newer SlackBuild than AlienBOBs place.
Now, about gst-python

this error suggests that you have multilib installed on a 64bit system, specifically a 32bit gstreamer package. You might want to read the slackbuilds.org FAQ if thats the case.

Just did slackpkg search gstreamer, and the output was gstreamer-0.10.32-x86_64-1

So I don't think it can be a 32 bit gstreamer, unless it somehow compiled as 32 bit while retaining the x86_64 tag. I only use multilib in order to use three applications, none of which use gstreamer, so I wouldn't have compiled it as 32 bit. Also, I use sbopkg to install most of my slackbuilds, including this one. Could this have somehow caused a problem?

That's correct output, but not the output you were expecting. You have to realize that slackpkg only knows about the official Slackware packages. It will not find or report any package you added on top, such as my 32-bit compat32 packages.

The evidence is in your errorlog:

Code:

/usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format

This is a 32-bit gstreamer library. On a 64-bit Slackware system the most likely explanation of its existence is that it got installed as part of the gstreamer-compat32 package.

Try this:

Code:

ls -l /var/log/packages/*compat32*

and examine the output for a gstreamer package.

Thanks for your responses, Bob and Sanhko.

Do I tried Bob's advice and found gstreamer as a compat32 package. Removed that package and installed it in 64 bit, and tried gst-python again. Now it gives an error for this:

Code:

/usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format

I entered that command again, but this time I don't see gobject mentioned in there. A quick google search turned up nothing helpful, so if its the same problem, I don't know which of these packages would include this library. Here's the complete output:

Is it something that would be included in one of the installed compat32 packages?

Perhaps you should read http://slackbuilds.org/faq/#multilib
It won't help removing all those compat32 packages, you'll end up with broken 32-bit support on your multilib computer.

Fantastic, it worked! Thanks so much

I promise I normally RTFM, I guess I just missed this one
