[gst-devel] gst-plugins can't find GStreamer

[Nick Chorley]

Hi all,

I'm having problems trying to install gst-plugins from source. I'm only
using the source code because Slackware Linux doesn't have a package for
GStreamer. I have successfully installed gstreamer-0.10.12 and get output
from "gst-launch -v fakesrc num_buffers=5 ! fakesink" as follows:

I've also compiled Pidgin with GStreamer support (though the sound doesn't
work, presumably because I don't have gst-plugins, hence why I'm trying to
install it). While I'm on the subject, do I need any other GStreamer modules
to have sound support in Pidgin?

Anyway, the main problem is that gst-plugins-0.8.12 doesn't find GStreamer.
I have not changed my PKG_CONFIG_PATH, because it already has
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig in it:

/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/kde/lib/pkgconfig

How do I get this to work?

Thanks,
