I did this (that I saw in gestreamer docs)

fabian at jaguar:~/programas$ gcc -Wall $(pkg-config --cflags --libs  
gstreamer-0.8) mp3play.c -o mp3rep
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/../../../libgstreamer-0.8.so: undefined

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

this is the code

/* This is a command line mp3 player using gstreamer. It's nothing more  
than
  * their hello,world with one addition feature in that it prints off the  
time
  * while the song is playing.
  *
  * Just making it public for the hell of it. I did not write 100% of this  
code
  * I simply added a little to print off the length, time remaining...
