Did you set your environment as I suggested in my original response?
Particularly in this case you're missing:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/opt/gstreamer-1.0/lib/pkgconfig

but you also need to set other variables.  Please read my original post
where I suggest a Bash function to do it.

Of course, do whatever suits you best.  I just provided you a hint (I'm
not going to support you with this) so if you feel this is too much
hassle for you than wait for the package.
