Hi !
You have to know if you have a file named "libxul-unstable.pc".
It must be provided by a package such as "libxulrunner-unstable-devel"
(as called in MandrivaLinux).
If you built and installed xulrunner by yourself, the
libxul-unstable.pc is _perhaps_ in your /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
directory. If it is there, you have to say to the pkg-config program
that there is another place to check for libraries : just type
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
then restart ./configure

Hope this helps,
