Sorry, I forgot that gst-rtsp-server requires GStreamer from git (>=
1.1.x, not 1.0.x). You'll either have to compile the other GStreamer
modules from source as well, or wait until we release 1.2.0 this week,
and 1.2.0 packages are made available for your distro.

If you're on debian, there are 1.1.4 packages in debian experimental.
(Those might work on a recent ubuntu as well)

Cheers
