Re: gnome-media doesn't compile.

["Joseph E. Sacco, PhD" <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

Try this:

* make clean
* make extract
* cd work/main.d/gnome-media-2.12.0


* edit configure
Adjust for gstreamer-0.9 by setting GST_MAJORMINOR to 0.9

                                ...
        # Check for GStreamer stuff and GSR depds 
        HAVE_GST=no  
        GST_REQ=0.8.2                  
        PROGRAMS_GSTRECORD=""  
        GST_MAJORMINOR=0.9            <<=========================
                               ...
