Description Bill Nottingham 2003-08-29 03:07:13 UTC
From an strace:

open("/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.6", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = 16

Ok, makes sense.

open("/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.6/libgstbasicomegascheduler.so",
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory)
open("/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.6/libgstautoplugcache.so",
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory)

open("/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.6/libgstelements.so",
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory)
open("/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.6/libgstgetbits.so",

open("/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.6/libgst1394.so",
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory)

For every single file in the directory.

I'm sure there's a reason for this. Right?

Comment 2 Colin Walters 2004-03-29 22:20:27 UTC
I fixed this upstream, and added the patch to gstreamer-0.8.0-3.
