"assertion failed: (path_spill != NULL)" from gst-register
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I installed gstreamer-0.7.3 and gst-plugins-0.7.3 from source on my Slackware Linux 9 system (which already has gstreamer-0.6.0 and its prerequisites) - ask for the full details if you wish to follow this up - and finally ran gst-register. I saw: >... >added plugin asf with 2 feature(s) >added plugin adder with 1 feature(s) >added plugin riff with 0 feature(s) >added plugin matroska with 2 feature(s) >added plugin avi with 2 feature(s) >trying to load user_registry >error loading user_registry > >** ERROR **: file gst-register.c: line 129 (main): assertion failed: (path_spill != NULL) >aborting... >Aborted The registry seems nevertheless to have been created ok. At least: $ gst-inspect alsasink and: $ gst-launch sinesrc ! alsasink from the new installation work fine. John A. Murdie Department of Computer Science University of York UK
We're not really interested in bugs in 0.7.3 anymore. Please install 0.8.0. I seem to remember this bug, and it was fixed rather quickly. If you still have problems with 0.8.0, please reopen.
