Hard to say without more information. You could try this:

 $ gst-inspect-0.10 /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstcoreelements.so

to see if it's a search path problem or something else.

In the unlikely case that you have not disabled the debugging system,
you could run

 $ GST_DEBUG=*:3 gst-inspect-0.10 fakesrc 2>dbg.log

and see if you spot anything suspicious/wrong.
