Compile errors with gst/gst.h on Fedora

[little_endian]

I am using a Fedora 12 linux distribution and trying to compile a sample hello world app that uses Gstreamer. I googled my error a bit but I could not figure out why my gst.h file seems to be missing. When I installed using yum install gstreamer, it says gstreamer already installed. Where is the dev package I need to get? Any pointers would be great..

gmake
gcc `pkg-config gstreamer-0.10 --libs` `pkg-config gstreamer-0.10 --cflags` gst_hw.c
Package gstreamer-0.10 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gstreamer-0.10.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gstreamer-0.10' found
Package gstreamer-0.10 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gstreamer-0.10.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gstreamer-0.10' found
gst_hw.c:1:21: error: gst/gst.h: No such file or directory

On RedHat-based distros like Fedora, the development packages have a
"-devel" suffix; so try "sudo yum install gstreamer-devel".

You can also try "yum search gstreamer" to see all available gstreamer
packages.

Thanks a lot David, it was helpful. Now it can find the header file (but I had to do #include <gstreamer-0.10/gst/gst.h>) but it gives errors for the files included from gst.h like so below, any thoughts?

Actually everything is fine now, thanks a lot for your help!!
