Bugzilla Bug 245237

I get this from gst-inspect-0.10:

(gst-inspect-0.10:523): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin
'/usr/lib64/gstreamer-0.10/libgstgio.so':
/usr/lib64/gstreamer-0.10/libgstgio.so: undefined symbol: g_input_stream_read

There is no DT_NEEDED on libgio in that plugin .so file

Same problem here.

Hmm,

ssuominen@unique ~ $ gst-inspect-0.10 | grep gio
gio:  giostreamsrc: GIO stream source
gio:  giostreamsink: GIO stream sink
gio:  giosrc: GIO source
gio:  giosink: GIO sink

ssuominen@unique ~ $ qlist -CIv gst-plugins-gio
media-plugins/gst-plugins-gio-0.10.21

But I've got attached ebuild installed atm.

gst-plugins-gio-0.10.21.ebuild

I'm not sure if testing this, while trying to figure out the problem has
anything to do with the result it is working now.

NFC.

And now again, it's not working. How can it even be random?

To reply myself, once you load Totem once it starts working.

I have a non-Gnome system, so I don't have totem, yet I have almost every
gst-plugin installed, yet I get the same error message.

I don't know yet how it's supposed to work, since it has never worked.

I just hit this too.
It seems that invoking 
GIO_LIBS="`pkg-config --libs gio-2.0`" emerge gst-plugins-gio
works for me, so afaics there is something wrong with configure.ac makeing it
not link libgstgio to libgio.

And the winner is:

eclass/gst-plugins-base

Becouse that eclass does not pass --enable-experimental to configure the
gio-part of configure is never run, leaving libgstgio built with an an
incomplete configuration.

this change made it work for me:

[I hand-applied this patch omitted]

After patching /usr/portage/eclass/gst-plugins-base.eclass as indicated, and
rebuilt (paludis install) media-plugins/gst-plugins-gio-0.10.20:0.10::gentoo,
and bingo, it worked.  (i.e., emerge gst-plugins-gio).

Please install the fix,

P.S., How do I tell Paludis to use eclass other than /usr/portage?  (Since
/usr/portage gets resynced, my changes lost.)  Of course, when they comit this
fix to the portage tree, then everything will be ok.

P.P.S., I'm posting a copy of Xake's patch from comment #8 as an attachment.
