This means you need to install development packages for those required 
libraries  You'll find when you build software from source, you often 
have to install development packages for libraries that you already have 
installed.  Try searching in yum for packages with names like 
gstreamer-base-devel, gstreamer-plugins-base-devel, etc.  I don't use 
Fedora so I don't know what the exact package names will be.

It's possible that Banshee 1.2 is already packaged for Fedora.  Maybe 
somebody else on the list can help you with that.
