Ok, I removed liboil-0.3 and liboil-0.3-dev.

Done.

I even did a 'make clean', just to be sure (gst* and totem).

Everything went fine, but I still have the same error with Totem's
configure script. The strange thing here is that running the command
from the shell doesn't give the error anymore.

Here's the output from the configure-script:

---------------------
checking for backend libraries... checking for GST... yes
GStreamer-0.10
gst010_toolsdir="/opt/gnome/bin"
gst010_inspect="/opt/gnome/bin/gst-inspect-0.10"

function.  Please add a timestamp function for your platform.

configure: error:

GStreamer-0.10 plugin 'playbin'.
                                        It should be part of
gst-plugins-base. Please install it.

make: *** [configure-work/main.d/totem-1.4.0/configure] Error 1
---------------

(I added some code to print the contents of some variables, but the
original configure script gives exactly the same errors.)
I did 'make uninstall; make clean; make install' a couple of times,
just to be sure.

If I run the command from the shell, this is the result (only the
first few lines):
---------------
