That's not going to work, and not how it's supposed to work.

You need to get the include paths to pass to the compiler using

 pkg-config --cflags gstreamer-0.10

and then

 #include <gst/gst.h>

How this has to be done exactly in Eclipse I don't know, but pkg-config
is a pretty standard tool on linux so I'm sure there's a solution for
this.

(The reason this doesn't work is that there are includes in other
directories as well - glib for example may have platform-specific
headers in /usr/lib/glib-2.0/include that are needed).
