I just tried to install the latest media-build-package via git. I got an error because of a missing package, but the script could not provide a hint about the name of the missing package. One quick search made clear, that it was perl's ProcessTable package, which was missing. This is named "libproc-processtable-perl" in debian, so you could add this as hint. Cheers, Henning --------------------- What i did and uname: ~$ git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git ~$ cd media_build ~/media_build$ ./build.sh Checking if the needed tools are present ./check_needs.pl ERROR: please install "Proc::ProcessTable", otherwise, build won't work. I don't know distro . So, I can't provide you a hint with the package names. Be welcome to contribute with a patch for media-build, by submitting a distro-specific hint to linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Build can't procceed as 1 dependency is missing at ./check_needs.pl line 132. *** ERROR.
