GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 107218
libgstarts.so causes Garnome build to crash with segmentation fault
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
Garnome build for Gnome 2.2 crashed with a segmentation fault when trying to build either Nautilus-media or Gnome-media from source (everything else built okay). The crash occurred while running gst-register, at plugin 'ffmpeg' which showed 112 (!) options. Using gdb, I traced the crash to line 110 of gstplugin.c, where I inserted a printf to display the plugin name and file, which turned out to be libgstarts.so. I moved this file to another directory, and the build was able to proceed successfully to completion. So there seems to be something wrong with libgstarts.so, either the plugin itself or my build of it. I'm using GCC 3.22 without problem on everything else. Let me know if you want me to send any additional information or my copy of libgstarts.so. Best regards, and thanks for all the great work--Gnome 2.2 looks fantastic!

This means something is wrong with the artsd lib on your system (or we're expecting something else). Can you run gst-register with --gst-mask=-1 and give the last +/- 20 lines of output (the part where it tries to load the artsd plugin and fails)?
Nothing heard back, closing bug.
