This should be filed as an issue under OSSBuild -- not in the gstreamer mailing list. Also, please describe the version you used.

The errors you saw are because when you installed the SDK, you also installed the python bindings without having python installed. Reinstall without the python bindings and those errors will go away.

As for why your program crashed, more info. is needed (can you provide a code sample?). OSSBuild doesn't provide static libraries, so those must be of your own making. If there's a problem w/ those, there's not much anyone can do.
