Fedora Core 3

uninstalled previous libvisual stuff completely

compiled libvisual and then libvisual-plugins and then libvisual-xmms

Build methos was via rpm

During build of libvisual-plugins, the make install threw all the =20
plugins into

%buildroot/usr/lib

the .la files did have correct path ( /usr/lib/libvisual/whatever/ ) =20
but that's not where they were installed (it is in the stable version)

However - when I had the spec file manually create the directorys and =20
move the plugins - they work fine with the xmms-plugin

Note on the xmms plugin - when it starts from cli, it complains that it =20
failed to load /usr/lib/libvisual/transform

That directory does not exist, I don't know if it is suppose to - but =20
the visualizers (so far anyway) do seem to work - at least in xmms.

Just earlier this month - GStreamer put out a bunch of updates, and the =20
libvisual plugins worked in totem again - I haven't tried with the =20
0.2.0 libvisual, but if there is a problem - then I'm guessing that's a =20
GStreamer-plugins patch that would be needed.

I'll try that tomorrow afternoon (rebuild the libvisual gstreamer =20
plugin and see if it builds and works)

But other than the makefile issue in the rpm specfile with where the =20
plugins go, it seems to work. Attached is that specfile.
