No problem Milosz.

The following code (taken from Section 5.2 of the GStreamer Application 
Development Manual) runs reporting that the creation was successful:

-----------------------------gstreamer-test.c-------------------------------------
#include <gst/gst.h>

int
main (int   argc,
     char *argv[])
{
 GstElement *element;

 /* init GStreamer */
 gst_init (&argc, &argv);

 /* create element */
 element = gst_element_factory_make ("fakesrc", "source");
 if (element) {
   g_print ("Successfully created element of type 'fakesrc'\n");
 }
 else {
   g_print ("Failed to create element of type 'fakesrc'\n");
   return -1;
 }

 gst_object_unref (GST_OBJECT (element));

 return 0;
}
-----------------------------gstreamer-test.c-------------------------------------

Here's the compilation, execution and output:

[06:25][jose sweety:~/Projects/Programming/C++/Tests]$ gcc -g 
gstreamer-test.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs  gstreamer-0.10`
[06:29][jose sweety:~/Projects/Programming/C++/Tests]$ ./a.out
Successfully created element of type 'fakesrc'
