Hi Felipe, I am able to install glib-2.16.6 successfully at my $prefix path. I am following followed link to build and install gstreamer for embedded target. http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/wiki/HowToCompileForEmbedded. For gstreamer i am giving following command . [root at Fedora gstreamer]# sb2 ./configure --prefix=/opt/gstreamer_beagle/ --disable-nls --disable-static --enable-binary-registry --disable-loadsave --with-html-dir=/tmp/dump But i am getting following error while configuring gstreamer-0.10.25. config.log is as followed.

That patch looks good, but just to be sure I would use these: http://lists.scratchbox.org/pipermail/scratchbox-devel/2009-September/000464.html > After that i have installed qemu by giving following commands. > > ./configure --prefix=/opt/qemu/ --target-list=arm-linux-user > make install > > i have added sb3 bin path to my PATH variable. > > My cross tool chain is installed at following path which is from > Codesourcery( Sourcery G++ Lite version) and > is installed at /opt/arm-2008q3/. > > These are my system set up. > > Now when i give following command to set up qemu for my cross tool chain > it > gives following error. > > [root at Fedora libc]# sb2-init -c /opt/qemu/bin/qemu-arm armv7 > /opt/arm-2008q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc > Info: Mapping mode not specified, using default (simple) > Using /opt/arm-2008q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc to detect target > architecture: > Finished writing sb2.gcc.config > gcc configured. > sb2-init: Target architecture is 'arm' > sb2-init: Host architecture is 'i[3456]86' > Finished writing sb2.config > sb2-init: configuring libtool for this target: > /opt/qemu/bin/qemu-arm: error while loading shared libraries: cannot > restore > segment prot after reloc: Permission denied > /opt/qemu/bin/qemu-arm: error while loading shared libraries: cannot > restore > segment prot after reloc: Permission denied > /opt/qemu/bin/qemu-arm: error while loading shared libraries: cannot > restore > segment prot after reloc: Permission denied Hmm, I haven't seen that before but it seems to be a problem with SELinux. Have you tried disabling it? But again, all these problems are in scratchbox, not GStreamer, so I'm moving the discussion there. Cheers. -- Felipe Contreras
