This is the error I get:

Oops sorry, that was my mistake. Since I use modular X I didn't have libXdamage
installed so gst-plugins didn't compile. You can remove that bug...

[Comment 2 gad.kadosh 2005-10-26 09:55:12 UTC]

Well, there's apparently another problem now. When doing gst-register-0.8 I get:

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

Please either:
- remove it and restart.
- run with --gst-disable-segtrap and debug.


removing that file shows the same problem with libgstvideobalance.so

This is all related to the problem of liboil and ppc:

[Comment 4 gad.kadosh 2005-11-18 13:09:13 UTC]

This now works fine since liboil-0.3.6 is in portage, see bug 109270
