Subject: Issue: gst_element_factory_make ("my_new_plugin") == 0  ???

Hello all,

PROBLEM:

I cannot succeed gst_element_factory_make ("my_new_plugin","A_sample");


WHAT DID I DO?

1. I have created a new filter plugin "my_new_plugin" (just like in plugin
guide).
2. I have now written a test program to include 'my_new_plugin' (just like in
the plugin guide).
3. the gst_element_factory_make ("my_new_plugin","A_sample"); FAILS!


WHAT VERIFICATIONS I DID?

1. Checked if Shared Object is in $(libdir)/gstreamer-0.10/. (It is there!)
2. gst-inspect-0.10 lists my_new_plugin.
3. gst-inspect-0.10 my_new_plugin gives me the details of my plugin.
4. gst-launch-0.10 fakesrc ! my_new_plugin ! fakesink works fine.  I see "I'm
plugged, therefore I'm in." message from the chain function!

5. Alternatively, gst_element_factory_find ("my_new_filter"); FAILS in the
program.


QUESTIONS:
1. why is gst_element_factory_make () FAILING ?

Please, help me out!

Thanks and regards,
Sharath
