vsd2svg - won't conmpile or install rpm?

[Morgan Read <mstuff read org nz>]

Hello folks


I'm trying to install/ compile vsd2svg for fedora 24 and I've come to a
dead end...


First up:
# dnf list libvisio

Installed Packages
libvisio.x86_64                                           0.1.5-3.fc24
                                        @fedora
Available Packages
libvisio.i686                                             0.1.5-3.fc24
                                        fedora
# rpm -q libvisio
libvisio-0.1.5-3.fc24.x86_64


Trying make, I get:
# ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
... ... ...
checking for libvisio... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libvisio-0.0) were not met:

No package 'libvisio-0.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables libvisio_CFLAGS
and libvisio_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.


Trying to install the rpm and various permutations of what's at
/usr/lib64/libvisio*, I get:

If someone could give me a pointer for how I amend my system so that I
can install vsd2svg, preferably via rpm, it would be really appreciated.

Many thanks.

Regards.
