From the replies I see you are running a 64bit Linux - so your systems 
gst-launch-0.10 is a 64bit executable and loads 64bit libraries. For that it 
has no diagnostic value for debugging a 32bit executable (SLPlugin) which 
tries to load 32bit libraries. The best thing you can do is to closely watch 
debug messages about unresolved symbols to find out which 32bit gstreamer 
parts, plugins, dependencies are missing (e.g. usual suspects are libhttpsoup 
and  libgnomevfs, however there are probably more missing).

If you are anyway compiling the viewer yourself, probably its easier and 
faster to compile a 64bit viewer. If you want I can make a patch for using 
the  Imprundence/Kokua prebuilt 64bit libraries, and point you to 2 patches 
of Nicky Dasmijn which fix the viewer code for 64bit.
