gst-plugins-base and applications get the version information via
pkg-config, see:

  $ pkg-config --modversion gstreamer-0.10

This info comes from .pc files which usually reside
in /usr/lib/pkgconfig if both your GStreamer and pkg-config were
installed from package.

You can make pkg-config look elsewhere for these files by doing
something like (if you installed GStreamer into /usr/local/ for example,
which is the default when building from source):

 $ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
 $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

This is all assuming that you actually did 'make install' into some
prefix, of course. If you're running in an uninstalled setup, the
gst-uninstalled sript will take care of all these paths for you.
