           Summary: liboil and gstreamer-0.10.5-0.gst.1.5 (and up?)
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.x
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-universe
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: daxstryfe at gmail.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


After installing Fedora Core 5 and setting yum to use the gst repositories as
specified in http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org the videoscale plugin will not
load and "gst-inspect videoscale" will report that this plugin is not
installed, despite it is present as a file. gst-inspect also reports the
following when issuing as root / user:

GST_DEBUG=*:3 GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 gst-inspect-0.10

result:

[...]
WARN  (0x88a78f8 - 0:00:00.550508000)   GST_PLUGIN_LOADING( 2725)
gstplugin.c(410):gst_plugin_load_file: module_open failed:
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvideoscale.so: undefined symbol:
oil_function_class_ptr_merge_linear_u8
[...]

As a result all videoscale - related gstreamer calls do not work. This is
resolved if liboil is upgraded from 0.3.6 to 0.3.8. Fedora Core 5 users who
have not issued a yum update (or any other system that is using this particular
liboil version) could be affected.

To sum up, it is better to always check liboil version before issuing yum
install gstreamer-universe. "yum update liboil" can be of help if you want to
get things up and running fast.

My thanks to all #gstreamer devs + users over irc.freenode.net who provided a
direction for solving this.
