*Hi again,

Thanks for the fast and helpful response.*

/It seems that there is a problem with your installation here. This is 
not so much related with Liq than with OCaml itself: my first guess 
would be that /usr/lib/ocaml/pervasives.cmi is      the library for a 
version of OCaml different from the compiler used.
         What distribution are you using? Are all the packages related 
to ocaml up-to-date? Did you try to install OCaml by hand at some point?
Can you provide us with the config.log in the liquidsoap directory?/

*I am on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick. I followed some instructions I found on 
the net to install and
compile **liquidsoap-full-0.9.3-1.tar.gz and 
**liquidsoap-full-1.0.0-beta1.tar.bz2. I can say I am
totally noob about linux and liquidsoap. Just have little knowledge 
about UNIX from around
the early 90's.
But then how did I manage to run the radio? and why not the tv now :)
Anyway, I realized it wasn't a liq problem but OCaml but thought that 
pervesives.cmi should be
compiled seperately? Because the error was saying exactly

/usr/lib/ocaml/pervasives.cmi is not a compiled interface.

I mostly used to get the tools that were missing through "aptitude 
install" and on most part it
really helped until the make process. I would appreciate if you could 
help me how to check the
version of OCaml, (shamefully I couldn't even exit from OCaml btw.)
And no, I don't think I installed OCaml manually.*
/
//        Actually promoting your radios is encouraged :) I have added 
your radio to the list of Liquidsoap users./

*Glad for adding the radio, I really like liquidsoap and we (my team) 
even think to build an
interface for the parts we mostly use for now and share it with you (if 
we ever manage to get
our heads from work).*

/Yes, you should be able to. Video streams work exactly in the same way 
as audio streams (excepting that you see video). Notice that video 
hasn't been tested in depth, mainly             because of the lack of 
regular users, so we would be very interested to see if it feets your 
needs and also to fix bugs that you might encounter on your way.

/*That's what I understood and why I wanted to give it a try. **Because 
rationally thinking it must be the same. But I couldn't find any 
information of what streaming protocols I can use with it and which 
encoders could be used? I am asking that because I had for long time 
trouble streaming OGG through a flash application (the flash player for 
streaming the radio, as you know OGG is not natively supported by Adobe 
Flash).  I used a Java player (jorbis) for streaming ogg for some time 
until ffmp3 player came up (http://ffmp3.sourceforge.net) which saved 
the day (don't mind the name it allows ogg streams and is the only one 
around). Same can happen for video,  so I want to know what I am dealing 
with right after I manage to configure the stream on liquidsoap 
(especially by sending the stream to a flash player on a webpage).

It would be extremely appreciated if its possible to get a compiled 
ready version of the beta, I can assure you that I would try liquid1 
beta or 0.9.3. But honestly would prefer the beta. /
/*
/If you don't manage to compile liquidsoap, we might be able to provide 
you with compiled versions of the current beta but it depends on your 
Linux distribution (actually these are         already ready if you use 
Debian or Ubuntu).

/*(I couldn't find any ready installs for Debian or Ubuntu of liquid 
1beta, might be my fault.)*
*
Thank you very much again for the kind response and help Sam.
