Try putting the directory with your compiled plugin in the
GST_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable. I use something like

  export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/home/soto/devel/myproject:/home/soto/devel/gst-plugins:/home/soto/devel/gst-ffmpeg


gst-register searches the directories in the list recursively, so you
may specify a basis directory and let gst-register search for all
plugins lying there somewhere in the hierarchy.

Hope this helps,

M. S.
