I got this error in the ./configure :
checking for gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 >= 0.10.10... configure: error:
    Cannot find gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 >= 0.10.10

    Please check the following:

     * Do you have the GStreamer plugins _development_ package installed?
       (usually called gstreamer-plugins-devel,
libgstreamer-plugins0.10-dev or similar)
       If
           ls -l /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gstreamer-plugins-0.10.pc
       reports that the file does not exist, then you are missing
       the development package. If you installed GStreamer from
       source, this point does not apply to you.

     * Do you have GStreamer installed more than once, e.g. once
       from package and once from source? (if both
           ls /usr/lib/libgstinterfaces-0.10*
       and
           ls /usr/local/lib/libgstinterfaces-0.10*
       show results, you need to fix your installation.

     * Did you install GStreamer from source? If yes, you might need to
       point pkg-config to the location of the gstreamer-plugins-0.10.pc
       file by doing something like
          export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
       and then running ./configure again.

I checked all it suggested and I did not have any
gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.pc file. I do have a
gstreamer-base-0.10.pc file. So, just remove that plugins word from
that line fixed the problem...

I'm building the following GStreamer from time to time from source ( cvs)
gst-ffmpeg
gst-plugins-base
gst-plugins-farsight
gst-plugins-good
gst-plugins-ugly
gst-python
gstreamer

I think I read somewhere that these names where confusing and they
dropped one, but can't find it back.
