Hi, I tried your suggestion..... gst-inspect-0.10 /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstcoreelements.so Following is the output: Plugin Details: Name: coreelements Description: standard GStreamer elements Filename: /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstcoreelements.so Version: 0.10.22 License: LGPL Source module: gstreamer Binary package: GStreamer source release Origin URL: Unknown package origin capsfilter: CapsFilter fakesrc: Fake Source fakesink: Fake Sink fdsrc: Filedescriptor Source fdsink: Filedescriptor Sink filesrc: File Source identity: Identity queue: Queue filesink: File Sink tee: Tee pipe fitting typefind: TypeFind multiqueue: MultiQueue 12 features: +-- 12 elements which means that fakesrc is in fact installed? How to specify the correct search path in that case?

My libraries are installed in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10 and when I try to grep for fakesrc in this directory, I see that following files contain 'fakesrc' 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.
