[gst-devel] installation of 0.3.4 failed

[Thomas Vander Stichele]

Hi,

it seems to me you have older stuff in/usr/lib/gst trying to register the 
same types.

Maybe you have gstreamer 0.3.3 installed and did rpm -i gstreamer-0.3.4... 
?

You should use -U if that is the case, which upgrades the rpm, and removes 
the old version.

Thomas
