compiling on fedora core 9 fails

[Teus Benschop <teusjannette gmail com>]

Hi,

Recently Fedora Core 9 was released and I thought to try to compile the 
newest version of epiphany on it. The newest version is 2.22.1.1. I 
tried to ./configure the package, but it gives an error message:

[...]
checking for which engine to use... mozilla
checking for gawk... (cached) gawk
checking which gecko to use...
configure: error: No gecko found; you may need to adjust PKG_CONFIG_PATH 
or install a mozilla/firefox/xulrunner -devel package

I wonder about this because the xulrunner-devel package has been 
installed, and on previous versions of fedora, if e.g. firefox-devel had 
been installed, I could compile epiphany on it.

Commands in the terminal show that the version of epiphany that comes 
with the packages of fc9 is 2.22.1.1 too, so there must be a way to 
install it:

[teus localhost ~]$ epiphany --version
GNOME epiphany 2.22.1.1

Other commands in the terminal show that the xulrunner-devel is there:

[teus localhost ~]$ ls 
/usr/include/xulrunner-sdk-1.9pre/gtkembedmoz/gtkmozembed*
/usr/include/xulrunner-sdk-1.9pre/gtkembedmoz/gtkmozembed_glue.cpp
/usr/include/xulrunner-sdk-1.9pre/gtkembedmoz/gtkmozembed.h
/usr/include/xulrunner-sdk-1.9pre/gtkembedmoz/gtkmozembed_internal.h

[teus localhost ~]$ ls /usr/lib/xulrunner-
xulrunner-1.9pre/     xulrunner-sdk-1.9pre/

[teus localhost ~]$ ls /usr/lib/xulrunner*
/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9pre:

icons               platform.ini            xpcshell

/usr/lib/xulrunner-sdk-1.9pre:
sdk  xpcom-config.h

I only notice that there is the xulrunner-1.9pre/ and the 
xulrunner-sdk-1.9pre/ directories. Could these confuse the ./configure 
script?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
