Title: Installer can't find libgnomeprint (Mac OS X)

I have successfully installed libgnomeprint2.2 version 2.4.2-5 with Fink on my Mac OS 10.3.5.

But when i try and run the configure script to install my application (linsmith- not available from Fink),

i get the following error:

checking for libgnomeprint-2.2 >= 2.2... Package libgnomeprint-2.2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgnomeprint-2.2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libgnomeprint-2.2' found

configure: error: Library requirements (libgnomeprint-2.2 >= 2.2) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

I tried using the gnome-print pkg-config utility, as described in the documentation to describe the path.  It seems to me, from the above error message, that there should be a file called libgnomeprint-2.2.pc, but there is not anywhere on my system.  So i don't know quite where to direct the path.  I tried many variations of paths pointing to libgnomeprint components; the commands were accepted, but my configure script still could not find the lib.

Oh, i also know that Fink puts things in unconventional places, so i also used

> CFLAGS=-L/sw/include LDFLAGS=-L/sw/lib

in my configure command.

Is there any hope?

thanks, don
