Hi, The problem seems to be fixed by manually setting GST_PLUGIN_PATH to /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10. Thanks and regards, Ravi Karmarkar <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 5:09 PM, Ravi Karmarkar <<a href="mailto:karmarkar.ravi@gmail.com">karmarkar.ravi@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">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?

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' </div> 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.
