audioconvert is provided by media-libs/gst-plugins try re-emerging gst-plugins, re-run gst-register-0.8 and then try re-emerging banshee (this happens with 0.10.5 release ?). If none of that doesn't work show me gst-inspect-0.8 | grep audioconvert you'll probably have your gstreamer broken.
i forgot to mention try to remove also your ~/.gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml before re-run gst-register-0.8
I did as instructed. Removed the xml file from my profile. Re-emerged gst-plugins and reran gst-registry. Re-emerged all gst-plugins. Tried to emerge banshee again and same error. All version of banshee have the same error (>=0.10.4). I ran gst-inspect and got this: gst-inspect-0.8 | grep audioconvert gstaudioconvert: audioconvert: Audio Conversion gstaudioconvert: buffer-frames-convert: buffer-frames conversion I am at a loss. I have no problems with anything except banshee....
are you using any gnome beta release or gst-0.10 ?
I am running GNOME 2.12.3 as located in portage. No eroneous beta builds for GNOME installed. Running gstreamer 0.8.11 also from portage. Do not have gstreamer 0.10.* installed or ever have for that matter. I would say there might be a problem with the the configure script, but all versions break on this error. I am wondering if maybe its not a problem with autotools or something that relates to 'configure?'
It seems I have found the culprit. LDFLAGS seem to corrupt gstreamer. I have recompiled gst-plugins without LDFLAGS and they have solved any erroneous errors. I ran into errors like these from Gnomebaker: (gnomebaker:20218): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: how to remove plugins? (gnomebaker:20218): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: Factory for `wavparse' has no type. This probably means the plugin wasn't found because the registry is broken. The plugin GStreamer was looking for is named 'wavparse' and is expected in file '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstwavparse.so'. The registry for this plugin is located at '/home/william/.gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml' I did some searching and found other with the same problems. Indeed it is so. Looks like LDFLAGS="-Wl,-z,now" does cause problems with gst. Perhaps adding a warning to the ebuilds of filtering them out? Either way, it is something I am aware of and have indeed fixed my problem. Thanks for the help Luis.
good to know... LDFLAGS is evil.
I have regressed the LDFLAGS back to "-Wl, O1" (as a test case) and gstreamer does compile without breaking. I should have known then to update to something more aggressive. No problems compiling anything and banshee is installed and working properly.
