Re: building gnome

[Igor Gueths <igueths comcast net>]

Hi there. I get the following when I run ./configure in the ATK directory
with no options passed to the script.

checking if g77 supports -c -o file.o... yes
checking whether the g77 linker (/usr/bin/ld) supports shared libraries...
yes
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
checking whether stripping libraries is possible... yes
checking dynamic linker characteristics... GNU/Linux ld.so
checking for Win32... no
checking for aclocal flags...
checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...

configure: error:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH is currently set to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig. And the file
glib-2.0.pc is present in that directory. Am I missing something here? And
yes I did ./configure, make, and make install to install glib.
