Bug 118165 – Segmentation fault when merging media-plugins/gst-plugins-*

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sebastian Bergmann (RETIRED) 2006-01-07 05:09:48 UTC]

For every GStreamer plugin I merge, I get the following error message

  ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:
  /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstvideotestsrc.so

Despite the above error message the installation of the packages continues successfully(?).

I currently have the following GStreamer packages installed:

  media-libs/gstreamer-0.8.11
  media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.11
  media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.8.11
  media-plugins/gst-plugins-oss-0.8.11

Problem is gone after rebuilding the system from scratch.

My guess is that it had something to do with the --as-needed testing I did for Diego.
