Re: can't build totem because of segfault in gst-inspect

["Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D." <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

Check your build environment... Tests are most likely disabled [see
gar.lib.mk]. You can work around this for totem by adding

        CONFIGURE_ARGS += --enable-debug --enable-tests
        CFLAGS += -g
        CXXFLAGS += -g

at the *bottom* of the totem GAR Makefile.
