This is pretty standard in the Linux world.  It's the distribution's
choice to split things like libhal into packages named "libhal" and
"libhal-dev" (they do this to save you space...after all, most users
will never build from source...that's for "dev"elopers).  But from the
point of view of things like PKG_CHECK_MODULES, if you don't have the
development files installed, it's like the library isn't even there.
You will almost always need the development package when building
software that requires that package.

Hope that helps,
