gstreamer compilation error: 1.6.2

[xargon]

I am trying to compile gstreamer-1.6.2 from sources and while compiling plugins-base, I hit the following compilation error:

make[4]: Entering directory `/tmp/gstreamer-build/gst-plugins-base-1.6.2/tests/examples/playrec'

This happens on trying to compile 1.6.4 as well. I can compile the latest 1.8.2 fine though.

This happens if for whatever reason an older, system version of the
GStreamer libraries is used for linking here. Did you run "ldconfig"
after installing GStreamer 1.6.2, is the install path of it in your
dynamic linker path?

Thank you! That did the trick. I had an older version hanging around.
