Custom plug in not registering (CentOS 5.7)

[Jaime Gago]

Hi Nathanael thanks for your input, I didn't know about ldd but when ran against the .so there were no complaints about missing libs.
What about Linux distros? Could it be the plugin  is meant for an Ubuntu system therefore won't work as is on CentOS?

I don't know if this means anything to you, but here is the content of the libgstdecklink.la that comes with binary after I build, there is a clear reference to Ubuntu.


# libgstdecklink.la - a libtool library file

When I run gst-inspect my_custom_plugin i get a "No such element or plugin 'my_custom_plugin'. I tried to delete ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.x86_64.bin and then run gst-inspect but still the custom plugin (i.e. decklinksrc) is not registering.
