Re: gnome-media doesn't compile.

Matt,

The gstreamer-0.9.x branch is not quite ready for prime time.  If you
would like to build a working version of 2.13.x, you will have to
retreat to using the 0.8 branch, which is what the GNOME team has done.

That being said, things do compile with the 0.9 branch in place.

Your message would indicate that a dependency was not met:

[from the GAR Makefile for gnome-media... ignore line wrap]
        GARNAME = gnome-media
        GARVERSION = 2.12.0
        CATEGORIES = desktop
        DISTFILES = $(GARNAME)-$(GARVERSION).tar.bz2
        
        LIBDEPS = platform/esound platform/gail platform/libgnomeui 
        desktop/gst-plugins-base desktop/nautilus-cd-burner desktop/scrollkeeper

I am guessing that something is amiss with your install of gstreamer and
gst-plugins-base. 

You should be building with

	make paranoid-install > make_paranoid-install.log 2>&1 &

rather than

	make install > make_install.log 2>&1 &

so the build will stop if something bad happens.
