You mean you compiled a new version of fdsrc and placed it elsewhere?
That's not going to work automatically, GStreamer needs to know about
the place where plugins are installed. By default it looks in
$prefix/lib/gstreamer-1.0 only, where $prefix is the one you used during
configure (i.e. /usr/local by default).

You can override that (as you noticed already) with the GST_PLUGIN_PATH
and GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH environment variables.
