Does anyone know if there is a Gnash rpm available for CentOS 4?

I have tried compiling it myself but run into dependency problems. I looked here

http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/gnash/

but there is only 0.8.2 for el5 not el4.

?? I see 7.1-1 for el4.

I'm looking for latest version 0.8.2

The buildlog explains it:

     ERROR: GST media handling requested but gstreamer-0.10+ not found
            Install it from http://www.gstreamer.net
            or .deb users: apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-dev
            or .rpm users: yum install gstreamer-devel

RHEL4 ships with gstreamer 0.8.7. Not every dependency is practically satisfiable. Unless you prefer breaking the system and change your CentOS into a RobertOS :-)

Thanks for looking into it Dag. I tried compiling gstreamer 0.10 from source but it requires glib2 >= 2.6 I don't think I can update glib2 without causing major damage. So I give up, I guess it's not possible to run the lastest Gnash on el4.

BTW I really appreciate your rpm repo. :)

This issue might be worth reporting upstream to gnash themselves, are you really sure it needs glib2 >= 2.6 ?

The plugin wants 2.6 and the base package wants GLib 2.8. I got the src from http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/

Here is my version of GLib (which is called glib2) It's packaged by you Karanbir. :)
