I'm reinstalling Gentoo on my system and when I try to do an 'emerge gnome', it errors out when it tries to configure gnome-media. The error message I get is
Code:

checking for   gstreamer-0.6 >= 0.5.2 gstreamer-libs-0.6 >= 0.5.2                libgnomeui-2.0 >= 1.102.0... Package gstreamer-libs-0.6 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gstreamer-libs-0.6.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gstreamer-libs-0.6' found
checking for                gstreamer-0.5 >= 0.5.2 gstreamer-libs-0.5 >= 0.5.2     libgnomeui-2.0 >= 1.102.0... Package gstreamer-0.5 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gstreamer-0.5.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gstreamer-0.5' found
configure: error: you need GStreamer installed

!!! ERROR: gnome-extra/gnome-media-2.2.1.1 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 304, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed


My USE flags are:
Code:

USE="X gtk gnome alsa avi cdr cups dvd esd gif java jpeg -kde mmx mpeg ncurses opengl quicktime spell sse truetype usb xmms"


From what I can tell, it can't find my gstreamer libraries, but portage says that gstreamer is installed. I did an updatedb and tried to locate the file it metioned, gstreamer-libs-0.6.pc, but no file exists.

I've tried everything I can think of to make sure gstreamer is installed. I've unmerged it and emerged it, I've unmerged and egmerged it with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86 ~i386", I've done a sync and unmerged/emerged it. I did an emerge sync and an emerge -u system and emerge -u world, but there are no packages to be updated...nothing seems to work.

How can I fix this??

I figured out the solution to this.
When gstreamer installs it goes in /usr/lib/pkgconfig as gstreamer-0.6.pc. When gnome-media checks if gstreamer is installed, it looks for /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gstreamer-libs-0.6.pc.
I created a symbolic link from /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gstreamer-libs-0.6.pc to /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gstreamer-0.6.pc and the emerge worked fine.

I submitted Bug 22379 about this problem and my solution.
