Error while trying to obtain ESource list

["Teresa Thomas" <tere ertw gmail com>]

Im trying to use the functions, e_source_list_new() and  e_source_list_new_for_gconf_default(char* path) from libedataserver to get the ESourceList. 

I have included the header file e-source-list.h and added the necessary compiling and linking flags (using pkg-config). But on runtime, it gives me the following error:
___________________________________________________
(process:4289): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2215: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function

(process:4289): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed

Segmentation fault

Code segment that is giving me the error:
   ESourceList* esourcelist = e_source_list_new(); 
      printf("%s","Debug: After calling e_source_list_new()\n");         
   esourcelist = e_source_list_new_for_gconf_default(GCONFPATH);
       printf("%s","Debug: After calling e_source_list_new_for_gconf_default()\n");


Would anyone know why?

Thanks
