GStreamer | gstreamer (core) | Ver: 0.8.6

           Summary: Cannot find registry.xml.tmp
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.8.6
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net

While trying to compile the helloworld example I got a segfault.  I ran strace
and found this error: 'access("/home/blake/.gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml.tmp",
F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)'.  I tried copying registry.xml to
registry.xml.tmp but still got a segfault
(access("/home/blake/.gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml.tmp", F_OK) = 0
rename("/home/blake/.gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml.tmp",
"/home/blake/.gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml") = 0
gettimeofday({1100848354, 959346}, NULL) = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++)
After running the program, registry.xml.tmp is deleted.  Also, running in gdb,
it segfaulted and gdb pointed me to popt.c line 943: 
'Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 1078571680 (LWP 14602)]
0x40498157 in poptStrippedArgv (con=0x804a0d0, argc=2, argv=0xbffff7f4)
    at popt.c:943
943     popt.c: No such file or directory.
        in popt.c'
I know that the error is caused by gst_init, and passing NULL pointers to
gst_init makes an assertion fail (GStreamer-ERROR **: No default scheduler name
- do you have a registry ?).
Thanks!
