  GStreamer | gstreamer (core) | Ver: 0.10.0
           Summary: I have gstreamer installed but the terminal won't
                    recognize it
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: grendel2110 at yahoo.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: 2.13/2.14
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


I'm trying to ./configure an install file (for thoggen), but I keep coming back
to this error:

Please check the following:

     * Do you have the GStreamer _development_ package installed?
       (usually called gstreamer-devel, libgstreamer0.10-dev or similar)
       If
           ls -l /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gstreamer-0.10.pc
       reports that the file does not exist, then you are missing
       the development package. If you installed GStreamer from
       source, this point does not apply to you.

     * Do you have GStreamer installed more than once, e.g. once
       from package and once from source? (if both
           ls /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10*
       and
           ls /usr/local/lib/libgstreamer-0.10*
       show results, you need to fix your installation.

     * Did you install GStreamer from source? If yes, you might need to
       point pkg-config to the location of the gstreamer-0.10.pc file by
       doing something like
          export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
       and then running ./configure again.

I've knowingly installed gstreamer 0.10, and when I run 'ls -l
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gstreamer-0.10.pc,' I get '-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 412
2006-05-17 10:50 /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gstreamer-0.10.pc'

I'm not that great with source code, so some dumbed down help would be much
appreciated. Thanks.
