Having trouble building wxPython

I am using Trisquel 6, which is a variant of Ubuntu 12.04.

Following the instructions at <http://wxpython.org/builddoc.php>
(these were the only instructions I could find), I tried to build
wxPython with "python build-wxpython.py --build_dir=../bld" from the
wxPython directory. The build fails, however, at a call to a configure
script.

This is the output (two separate pastes because of the way I recorded it):

The problem seems to be that GStreamer isn't found, but I have the
package, libgstreamer0.10-dev installed, so this doesn't make sense.

Apparently the gstreamer dev packages depend on the libgconf2-dev package, but it doesn't list that dependency anywhere. If you install that then your configure step should at least be able to move on to the next issue, if not complete successfully.

I didn't have libgconf2-dev installed previously, but unfortunately
installing it didn't fix the error. It still complains that GStreamer
isn't available (same warnings, same error).
