It's not entirely correct.

What it means is that the gst-launch-1.0 you are running is the one
from 1.12 (so your PATH is fine), but that the libgstreamer-1.0.so that
gets picked up by the dynamic linker is the old system one (1.4) and
not the new one you compiled.

First thing to try is: run 'sudo ldconfig'

If that doesn't help, check if the library directory of your install
prefix is in /etc/ld.so.conf*

You can also manually set/export the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable and point it to the lib directory of the prefix where you
installed the new GStreamer into.

Cheers
