Rune,
Lets take this to the gecko-mediaplayer list... but it sounds like a
package config issue
what does this give you
pkg-config --variable=libdir firefox-plugin
That should give you the location of the firefox lib directory and then
xpidl is expected to be found there.
I had this same problem on Fedora 9 early in the development period,
they had bugs in their .pc files

e@nFs-desktop:~/$ pkg-config --variable=libdir firefox-plugin
/usr/lib/firefox-2
But this directory does not even exist:
e@nFs-desktop:~/$ ll /usr/lib/firefox
firefox/ firefox-3.0b5/ firefox-addons/
Should I try to solve this by making a symlink?
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox /usr/lib/firefox-2

Rune,
the symlink would be a short term solution, but the correct solution
would be to get the .pc file fixed so that it works correctly. I suggest
you open a bug and have them fix it, since it is wrong.

I had to change these two lines in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libxul.pc to
compile gecko-mediaplayer.
I know this "bug" is reladted to xulrunner not to gecko-mediaplayer
but at least with these changes it works.
Here comes the changes. Could be useful for someone.

Since you have xulrunner-dev installed can you provide me with a list of
the .pc files in that package...
something like
dpkg -L xulrunner-dev | grep .pc
I want to see what the options are... and then from there I can
determine what else is needed.

The bug has been updated to include the proper package. you don't need
xulrunner-dev, you need libxul-dev
