Unable to install gst1-plugins-base slackbuild

Hi,

I wanted to install gst1-plugins-base but I got the following error:

Code:

/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib64/libEGL.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib64/libEGL.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make[3]: *** [libgstpango.la] Erreur 1
make[3] : on quitte le répertoire « /tmp/SBo/gst-plugins-base-1.4.1/ext/pango »
make[2]: *** [pango] Erreur 2
make[2] : on quitte le répertoire « /tmp/SBo/gst-plugins-base-1.4.1/ext »
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Erreur 1
make[1] : on quitte le répertoire « /tmp/SBo/gst-plugins-base-1.4.1 »
make: *** [all] Erreur 2

What should I do?

I think it's a common problem (already reported) related to having installed the nvidia drivers using directly their installer: uninstall them still using their installer, reinstall mesa and install nvidia-kernel and nvidia-driver from SBo.
after that you should not have problems linking to libEGL.

I tried this and my desktop looked horrible to say the least. I am sure I missed something so here's what I did

Code:

1. nvidia-uninstall
2. reboot
3. re-installed mesa
4. installed nvidia-kernel and driver from SBo
5. reboot
6. re-ran xorgsetup
7. started X

So the question is... Do I need to re-install the native NVIDIA driver after this or not?

Don't run xorgsetup.

The nvidia-kernel package installs a working X config file.

I use the Nvidia installers.
When this problem occurs, I just copy the libEGL.la from the mesa package to /usr/lib64 . Do I miss something ?

I eventually did this. Actually I had to first find the libEGL that the NVIDIA installer backed up for me. Here's what I did

Code:

# grep ".la" /var/lib/nvidia/log

# cp /var/lib/nvidia/101 /usr/X11R6/lib/libEGL.la
# cp /var/lib/nvidia/104 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.la

#ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libEGL.la /usr/lib64

X wouldn't start until I ran xorgsetup

Multiple things, one of them being that the NVidia installer creates an xorg.conf with settings that shouldn't be there:

This is all you should really need:

In fact the nvidia installer asks if we allow it to modify xorg.conf. I usually answer "no". From time to time I answer "yes" to see if there are changes. I have always used the nvidia installers without any problem (for many years). And if you keep the same version, but need to change only the kernel module, you have the option "-K", which installs only this module, and does not change anything else.
