I’ve seen this before, and I’ve got a workaround, but I’d rather figure out the “right way”. 
I’m trying to build wxPython-2.9.4.1 (2.9.4.0 with the 0.1 patch applied) on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS and I get:
checking for CAIRO… yes
checking for cairo_push_group… yes
checking for GST… configure: WARNING: GStreamer 0.10 not available, falling back to 0.8
checking for GST… configure: WARNING: GStreamer 0.8/0.10 not available.
configure: error: GStreamer not available
Error running configure
ERROR: failed building wxWidgets
Traceback (most recent call last):

BuildError
And so… I comment out the --enable-mediactrl:

But… how do I get GStreamer? What package provides it?
thanks!
