gst-inspect not finding plugin loader helper binary

[Nicholas Butts]

Found the problem, I had GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH pointing to /usr/lib instead
of /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10, now I don't get the error messages. But I had to
recreate my host directory structure and put the gst-plugin-scanner in the
same path the hosts thinks it should be in. This seems like a bug. I want to
build gstreamer in location A on my build machine, but it will reside in
location B on my host target. Is there a way to do that?

Also, I have all of the plugins copied over on my host machine, but when I
run gst-inspect I only see the plugins below. Why do the base and good
plugins not show up?

coreelements:  valve: Valve element
coreelements:  multiqueue: MultiQueue
coreelements:  typefind: TypeFind
coreelements:  tee: Tee pipe fitting
coreelements:  filesink: File Sink
coreelements:  queue2: Queue 2
coreelements:  queue: Queue
coreelements:  output-selector: Output selector
coreelements:  input-selector: Input selector
coreelements:  identity: Identity
coreelements:  funnel: Funnel pipe fitting
coreelements:  filesrc: File Source
coreelements:  fdsink: Filedescriptor Sink
coreelements:  fdsrc: Filedescriptor Source
coreelements:  fakesink: Fake Sink
coreelements:  fakesrc: Fake Source
coreelements:  capsfilter: CapsFilter
coreindexers:  memindex: A index that stores entries in memory
staticelements:  bin: Generic bin
staticelements:  pipeline: Pipeline object

Total count: 3 plugins, 20 features
