net-libs/webkit-gtk should depend on a higher version of gstreamer plugins. gst-plugins-base-0.10.11 did not installa a gsreamer-video.pc file. As far as I can tell from the changelogs of gstreamer that file was added in 0.10.16. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. emerge -1 =media-libs/gst-plugins-0.10.11 1. emerge -1 net-libs/webkit-gtk Actual Results: configure fails with checking for GSTREAMER... configure: error: Package requirements (gstreamer-0.10 >= 0.10 gstreamer-base-0.10, gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10, gstreamer-video-0.10) were not met: No package 'gstreamer-video-0.10' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GSTREAMER_CFLAGS and GSTREAMER_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. !!!

Seeing as 0.10.22 is stable and the oldest version in the tree, how did you get 0.10.11?
(In reply to comment #1) > Seeing as 0.10.22 is stable and the oldest version in the tree, how did you get > 0.10.11? > I generally don't upgrade dependencies unless there is a requirement of a newer version, and I already had 0.10.11 installed from some time ago when it was the latest stable version in the tree and I installed something that pulled it.
Requirement increased in webkit-gtk-1.1.10. Please seriously re-consider your stance on upgrading only when needed. The requirements listed in packages are often the bare minimum necessary for things to compile. But the new versions that you aren't upgrading to if nothing requires it for building are still fixing minor and major bugs often. Probably not introducing more newer ones than are fixed in the case of a stable tree as you are using. gstreamer-0.10.10 is very very seriously old already at the point this bug was filed, so you are missing out on a lot of fixes, performance improvements and many other things from gstreamer, gst-plugins-* and all the other packages you are not upgrading to.
