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.

It's nowhere on any instructions. Read this carefully: scratchbox was created to forget about cross-compilation; you don't need to specify the host, target, or anything. > it gives following error.Please find log of configure command as > followed. Of course it's failing because it thinks it's cross-compiling, so it's not using scratchbox. > checking whether we are cross compiling... yes This question has nothing to do with GStreamer, you should ask it in the scratchbox mailing list.
