Package gstreamer-0.10.23 was not found in the pkg-config search path.

I'm trying to make a gStreamer cpp file using the following:

gcc -Wall$(pkg-config --cflags --libs gstreamer-0.10.23) test.cpp -o test

But I get the error:
Package gstreamer-0.10.23 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gstreamer-0.10.23.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gstreamer-0.10.23' found

I have installed gstreamer-0.10.23. What do I have to do to solve my problem?

Thanks

Depends where you installed gstreamer-0.10.23.

Manually installed to /usr/local/ ?
Or installed as a binary package ?
( You may then be missing gstreamer-devel ).

Example, if installed to /usr/local/ :

export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig/

The command is temporary, the path will reset to default,
when you close the terminal window.
