No, but you should first look at why pkg-config does not find the .pc
file. You can check that some .pc are found to start with:

  pkg-config --list-all

Next step, would be to run pkg-config in debug mode. It will trace it's
search path, so you can start debugging your distro this way:

 pkg-config --debug --libs gstreamer-1.0
