there was a bad .pc file in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig from a prior build of glib2.0 that was taking precedence over the debian /usr/lib/pkgconfig directory version of the .pc file and preventing the configure from working. Once I removed that file, all worked fine. apparently the debian build default priority for pkg-config is from http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pkg-config/2006-May/000108.html Tollef Fog Heen tfheen at err.no Mon May 29 04:41:05 PDT 2006 * Previous message: How to generate .pc files from package files? * Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Olivier Boudeville skrev: > it must be a fairly usual question, but I did not find the final word > through the wiki or the mailing list archive.

That defaults to $libdir/pkgconfig:$datadir/pkgconfig (which is usually /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig or the same, sans local). The Debian (and thereby the Ubuntu) packages hardcode it to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig /$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE):/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pk gconfig/$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE):/usr/share/pkgconfig I don't know what gentoo does, but if they pass --prefix=/usr (as I suspect they'll do), it'll default to /usr/share/pkgconfig and /usr/lib/pkgconfig. - tfheen * Previous message: thanks Mitchell Laks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
