Do "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig", and run ldconfig
before each ./configure that requires one of the libraries you installed
in /usr/local (pkg-config already knows about /usr/lib/pkgconfig) (I
should have mentionned that ldconfig step).
If you installed over /usr, I think you'd better start over and
reinstall the stock rpms.
