suse 10 +gstreamer

Since Suse goes out of its way to not include some plugins for Gstreamer that I need and the plugins are not available as rpms, I guess I need to compile and install myself. I downloaded the 0.10.1.tar.gz, done ./configure, make and, as root, install then ran SuSEconfig. It does not seemed to have installed although there were no fail messages. If I look with Yast, it still shows the old .8.11 version. Do I have to uninstall 0.8.11 along with all of its dependencies or is there another way to do this without having to uninstall probably hundreds of dependencies and reinstall them? Art
