Description Mark Post 2003-07-21 19:31:41 UTC 
I'm trying to build and run gstreamer 0.6.0 on Linux/390.  The compile 
appears to go well, but when I try to run gst-register, it segfaults.  The 
gdb error is as follows:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/gst-register
(no debugging symbols found)...warning: Cannot initialize thread debugging 
library: generic error

I tried changing the gcc compile options to -O0, but that didn't help.

Just in case, I have reproduced the problem with version 0.6.2.  I would 
prefer to get the fix backported to 0.6.0, if possible, since that is the 
version Slackware on Intel is using.

Please let me know what other information you need to investigate the 
error.

Thanks.

This problem turned out to be a problem with a missing symlink to
/lib/pthread.so in /usr/lib.  All sorts of libraries got messed up as
a result, and anything that used threading was likely to segfault.

This was in no way related to gstreamer itself.
