Getting Wx::MediaCtrl working on 10.10 Maverick Meerkat

Steve_BZ has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Guys

I'm in the process of upgrading Kubuntu 10.4 to 10.10 and I can't get Wx::MediaCtrl to install. The first indication that anything was wrong came with the message from my failed install of Wx::Demo:

    #   Failed test 'use Wx::DemoModules::wxMediaCtrl;'
    #   at t/01_load.t line 38.
    #     Tried to use 'Wx::DemoModules::wxMediaCtrl'.
[download]

However, backtracking to the Wx::Perl installation found no explicit errors, just:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/image/wxPerl/trunk/ext/media'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/image/wxPerl/trunk/ext/media'
[download]

where it tries to install /Media.pm.

Update: In fact it seems that dataview has the same problem.

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/image/wxPerl/trunk/ext/dataview'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/image/wxPerl/trunk/ext/dataview'
[download]

end of update.

The full install dumps follow.

Regards

Steve

Update

You can now access the detailed installation log here (install Wx).
and here (install Wx::Demo - which gives the only real error message).

http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/WxMediaCtrl To build wxWidgets with wxMediaCtrl enabled on linux (gstreamer 0.10) libgconf2-dev and libgstreamer0.10-dev are required.	[reply]

Hi Anon, Well spotted. libgconf2-dev was not installed, so I'm installing and re-running now. I'll update this post when it completes. Update: No change. Wx::MediaCtrl still not installed Regards Steve	[reply]

What is in `cpp\setup.h`? Maybe try `perl Makefile.PL --enable-media`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Post error messages ... you might want to try the CPAN release and not /trunk	[reply]

Hi Anon Well there were no error messages in the dump to post. I dumped it all in case more expert eyes than mine spotted something. I extracted from the dump parts of the dump that I thought were unusual and put the rest in READMORE tags. It seemd the best I could do. update: I've deleted the dump and replaced it with a link to a post wxperl-users archive where I have the same dump. I felt on reflection you were right about the length of the listing. It was getting painful to scroll through. Anyhow, I also tried CPAN, nice suggestion, but it shed no light on the subject.
