I could not reproduce this in my Xubuntu 20.04 VM, so I believe it more of a support request than an actual bug in the package.

Ubuntu's package does not build the nvdec and nvenc plugins (i.e. the plugins that would require cuda.h)
So you must have some CUDA libs/headers on your system that configure detects, but not enough of them to get gstreamer to build with CUDA support.
Is that what you are trying to do here?

Can you help with this problem?
