In 4.2 and trunk we switched to supporting a newer version of gstreamer, which is only available in CentOS 7 and above I believe. If you want to have a working gstreamer, which is optional, 4.1.x is stuck at CentOS 5 and 6. CentOS 7 does not have a package for the old gstreamer. I don't know the situation for the other Linux distros. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
