I saw the announce about uvideo stuff and I am very interested about this that's why I installed the most recent snapshot for testing.

First errors are encountered on cairo and pongo stuff, related to gnome. I tried to install gnome-session all together, but the errors are present. Snapshots of packages in my understanding are provided for convenience and are not well synchronized. If you are using a snapshot I would stick with ports. There is no guaranties that even than everything will work perfect but it might like in my case:-) I would not expect at this point for Ekiga to recognize that you have a USB camera even if your camera is supported by uvideo driver. I tried to test 2 very cheap USB cameras that I have. They are according to some documents are UVC devices which is the only type of USB cameras that OpenBSD is supporting. They were not recognized by kernel but I was not to optimistic anyway. Unless you camera is listed http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ I would not expect too much. You can also look for Windows Vista complaint cameras because it looks like those are UVC complaint. To be honest with you I didn't particularly like the tone of your message and I am not even developer. If you are testing something be patient and be ready for failures. If you just want things to work stick with 4.3 release which is well tested. If you need VoIP with video your best bet is Linux. As far as I know Ekiga with video can work on FreeBSD if you have Philips chip-set camera. Even then you need to make some custom patches. I personally tested Ekiga and Skype (which is not a SIP phone) with video on Ubuntu, CentOS, and OpenSUSE and things were working as expected. Kind Regards, Predrag Don't bother to tell about relation from kernel and glibc , I waited for the packages to be close to the kernel compilation date. IT should work. I don't complain, but what I can do. I am not sure about a diagnose, I think The packages are broken. But I'm not an expert and I don't want to make stupid appreciation on others people great work. I can send the exact errors. It will be copy by hand, since my OBSD computer is almost not installed, without X. Please send and idea, am I doing something wrong ? The other way will be to use anonymous cvs and compile everything from scratch, but I'm not sure about this. Is the snapshot a reliable stuff or not ? Thanks

If you can't deal with this yourself in some way or other, you need to wait for new snapshot packages to be built. Packages don't appear instantly, there is always a time after any library bump in base or X where the snapshot packages need an older libSomething.so file. If you aren't tracking -current frequently enough to have the old file in the correct arch on some system or other, you get to either build from ports, or wait for new snaps. I can send the exact errors. It will be copy by hand, since my OBSD computer is almost not installed, without X. If you're using any unix-like system, you should definitely learn about redirection in the shell...

Redirection is cool. E.g. make build 21 | tee make.out (if you want to watch it live too, however you can do that too by tail -f on the output file). or make build make.out 21 Assuming a bourne shell (or ksh or bash, i.e. anything of the bourne-like family). In the csh family tree that'd be make build | tee make.out or make build make.out Kind regards, Hannah.

In my last post, I got so distracted about redirection, but another point: script(1) can also be useful more often than not. Kind regards, Hannah.
