[email protected] I recently downloaded and installed on my Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) Yellowdog version 6. It included (after updates) Gnash 0.8.2 and Firefox 2.0.0.14running on GNOME (if I understand things correctly). I tried to use YouTube and NBC to view some videos and it did not work. Everything loads on YouTube, but I just get a grey box where the video is. I can "right click" on the video spot and get a Gnash window. Nothing happens when I try to play the video, pause the video, or try to re-start it. The menu items are there, but no joy. FYI - When I try the "help/about" right-click menu choice, I get an "unknown" for the version even though my package management program says I have the following installed: gnash-0.8.2-3.ydl.1.ppc gnash-plugin-0.8.2-3.ydl.1.ppc
NOTE: This was after I had already tried Ubuntu on my PS3 with the same YouTube and NBC viewing results. So I figured I would be a bit daring (since I am no programmer) and try to compile and install the latest Gnash (0.8.3) to see if that might fix my YouTube issue. Everything seemed to go okay with the ".\configure" ... it complained about a few missing packages (errors) and gave me some other warnings. I installed the "error" (required) packages and only have a few of the non-required (warnings) packages since my system did not have the others available. I re-ran the "./configure" to only get the warnings and they were all related to "testing". As indicated, it should compile with these warnings. So I proceeded with the "make". Again everything seemed to be going okay and after a few hours I just decided to let it run overnight. I came back the next morning to an error. I have included that part below. It appeared to me to be related to the KDE environment which I am not running (I believe I have GNOME if I understand things correctly). I had installed the development libraries that the "configured" had requested and after installing and re-running the "./configure" commands, the errors went away and I then proceeded with the make as indicated above.

So I redid the make and everything else appears to have completed. I am trying to figure out if I run the install if that will mess things up since the KLASH/KDE plugin did not compile but I will probably just go for it anyway. But I am curious why it did not compile since I did not get any errors and figured the developers might want to know about this issue. So here it is. Let me know if you would like me to try anything. Please be detailed as possible since I am a real novice but I am willing to help where I can. -- Christopher Baker NetSpec, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
