did you try 'gst packages/gtk/examples_hello.st' ? gst-browser or anything that uses the gtk bindings with the gst that you builded??

The script that I make is strongly inspired from the PKGBUILD. > On Mon, 17 Oct 2022 01:16:52 +0000 c...@riseup.net wrote: >> yes, I know, but the error is the same either way, and I didn't want to >> uninstall package repository's gst and run 'sudo make intall' every time >> I touch something.

Anyway ICBW but I think that isn't the problem here, even the arch package uses '--prefix=...' argument in configure script to change a little the installation path. But if that the case, maybe gst can't runtime load the gtk binaries needed? so the error should be more explicit that a key is not found in a namespace/dictionary. If you can tell me if gtk stuff just werks in your build, it would allow me to think better on the next steps to take. thanks Cheers!
