When I enter a text to search for in the Find search field, and press enter, I
get a crash. The following error message is displayed:

** ERROR **: file search-method.c: line 500
(get_file_info_for_virtual_directory): assertion failed: (file_info->mime_type
== NULL)
aborting...
Aborted

The same also happens when I click the "Find Them!" button.

Nautilus shuts down without a crash dialogue.

Using GNOME-VFS 1.0, GNOME 1.4 RC1.

(And yes, my GNOME stuff et al is in the /usr/local prefix)

Here is the same error debugged with gdb:

Sounds like an installation problem of some kind. MIME types of NULL coming back
means broken gnome-vfs?

Hm, had no other GNOME-VFS-related problems before.

Recompiling and reinstalling GNOME-VFS.

This is a swedish system, by the way.

Have recompiled GNOME-VFS, seemingly with no problems -- still the same problem.
Recompiling Nautilus CVS right now.

Is there maybe a small test application I could test the libvfs-search library?

Recompiling GNOME-VFS and Nautilus didn't help.

Hm, all the search related functions I have in libvfs-search.so are these:

nm /usr/local/lib/vfs/modules/libvfs-search.so |grep  
         U medusa_search_service_connection_destroy
         U medusa_search_service_connection_is_available_for_uri
         U medusa_search_service_connection_new
         U medusa_search_service_connection_read_search_result
         U medusa_search_service_connection_start_search

Just a shot in the dark at something I really don't know what it does :P

By the way, I do not have medusa running.

Please, could someone tell me what might be going wrong here?
