How can I resolve gstreamer dependencies in Ubuntu

Question

Can you please tell me how can I resolve these dependencies on ubuntu:

checking for GSTREAMER... configure: error: Package requirements (gstreamer-0.10 >= 0.10
                     gstreamer-app-0.10
                     gstreamer-base-0.10
                     gstreamer-pbutils-0.10
                     gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 >= 0.10.25
                     gstreamer-video-0.10) were not met:

No package 'gstreamer-app-0.10' found
No package 'gstreamer-pbutils-0.10' found
No package 'gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10' found
No package 'gstreamer-video-0.10' found

I have tried:

$ sudo apt-get install *gstreamer-video*

Solution 1

$ apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev

which you could have found by doing a search for gstreamer-app-0.10.pc in package contents on packages.ubuntu.com or with apt-file search, or by running the whole configuration process within auto-apt run.

Solution 2

libgstreamer0.10-dev doesnt seems to work in Ubuntu 18/19 but I tried the 1.0 version like this:

sudo apt install -y libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev

Just in case anyone needs to know

Solution 3

Try

apt-get install libgstreamer*

Thanks . I tried that. But still same error. I have tried '$ sudo apt-get install libgstreamer*-dev' but it does not work.

michael, you need to associate your accounts in your user profile (see meta.stackexchange.com/questions/18232/…). then you'll regain ownership of this question.

This also worked for me on Ubuntu 13.10 and your answer should be marked as the correct one.
