Description Marius Gedminas 2006-07-14 21:53:11 UTC 
I downloaded istanbul-0.2.0.tar.bz2, unpacked it, ran ./configure && make && sudo make install.  If I try to run it, I get an complaint about istximagesrc being missing.  If I try to find the plugin with gst-inspect by specifying the location of the .so file, I get a segfault.

It is not necessary to 'make install' to reproduce this:

  1. extract sources
  2. ./configure && make
  3. gst-inspect-0.10 --gst-plugin-path=.

ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:
./gst/.libs/libistximagesrc.so

Please either:
- remove it and restart.
- run with --gst-disable-segtrap and debug.

  4. gdb gst-inspect-0.10
  5. (gdb) run --gst-disable-segtrap --gst-plugin-path=.

Hi Marius, you mentioned on my blog, just setting the GST_PLUGIN_PATH correctly made it work, is this correct?
Comment 2 Marius Gedminas 2006-07-15 10:42:39 UTC 
Yes.

Actually, if I try 'GST_PLUGIN_PATH=. gst-inspect-0.10 istximagesrc', I do not get a segfault, but 'gst-inspect-0.10 --gst-plugin-path=. istximagesrc' does segfault.

Strange.
Comment 3 Zaheer Abbas Merali 2006-07-21 18:05:59 UTC 
I don't think this is a bug at lease not in istanbul
Comment 4 Tim-Philipp Müller 2006-07-23 09:28:50 UTC 
Zaheer, can you reproduce this on your system? If so, could you post a stack trace with debugging symbols by any chance?
Comment 5 Zaheer Abbas Merali 2006-07-23 09:53:06 UTC 
No I cannot, unfortunately.
Comment 6 Tim-Philipp Müller 2006-08-21 07:59:31 UTC 
Marius, when you say 'this is on Ubuntu Dapper 6.06' - what is the GStreamer core version actually being used? The one that ships with dapper (=0.10.6)?

I am fairly sure this is a duplicate of bug #343057 (crashes when using the --gst-plugin-path command line option).

If you're using a core version >= 0.10.7 and still get this issue, please re-open this bug.

If by "core" you mean the version of libgstreamer0.10-0, then it is 0.10.6-0ubuntu2.  The version of gstreamer0.10-tools, which contains the gst-inspect-0.10 binary, is the same.

Yes, that's what I meant. The bug has been fixed in version 0.10.7.
