25 Thanks. I'll do that.
26 I had a look at the output of ./configure --help with
27 gst-plugins-bad-1.6.2 and there is not "--enable-shm". There is just a
28 "--disable-shm". I don't know if a new ebuild gst-plugins-shm is
29 possible. So, the gst-plugins-bad-1.6.2 ebuild will have to be
30 modified. I am new to writing ebuilds. I'm not sure if this is
31 correct.

33 Thanks
