I downloaded the package, extracted the files, and manually copied them to /usr/lib. They are working fine for my purpose, which is testing whether it is possible to insert and play a wmv file in Powerpoint running in Wine. The answer is yes, so long as you have the files from that package in /usr/lib. Several months ago I had the same situation when I tried to install the gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad-32bit package from Packman. In that case, I found a package in the Multimedia repository that did not trigger an attempt to change the architecture of 400+ other packages, installed that, and it works fine. This suggests to me that the packages could be set up in way that would not trigger such a massive change. Wine now uses libgstasf for ASF demuxing and most Windows apps are still 32 bit. My immediate problem is solved, but this is something that would be a problem for anyone on 64 bit openSUSE that wanted to use Wine to run a 32 bit Windows app that needs to play an ASF/WMV file. -- Rosanne DiMesio <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Packman mailing list [email protected] http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
