Emerging this without gstreamer installed gives the following output. It emerges fine with gstreamer installed checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for GCOMPRIS... configure: error: Package requirements ( gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4.0 gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 2.4.0 gstreamer-0.10) were not met: No package 'gstreamer-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 GCOMPRIS_CFLAGS and GCOMPRIS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. !!!
