Hi all,

	When trying to ./configure gnome-core-1.2.1, the application
cannot seem to see my GdkPixbuf library (which is version 0.9.0).  I see
that the configure script looks at 'gnome-config' for some information
about GdkPixbuf so...

---[ CUT ]---
bash$ gdk-pixbuf-config --version
0.9.0

bash$ gnome-config --cflags gdk_pixbuf
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/lib/glib/include -I/usr/local/X11R6/include

bash$ gnome-config --libs gdk_pixbuf
-rdynamic -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/X11R6/lib -lgdk_pixbuf -ltiff
-ljpeg -lpng -lz -lgtk -lgdk -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXext -lX11 -lm

bash$ cd /usr/src/gnome-core-1.2.1
bash$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/
...
[SNIP: Lots of lines of things suceeding]
...
checking for GdkPixbuf library >= 0.7.0... configure: error: Did not find 
GdkPixbuf installed
---[ CUT ]---

	BUT ... here's a strange thing: when I cd into the gnome-core
source directory, the 'gnome-config --cflags gdk_pixbuf' and 'gnome-config
--libs gdk_pixbuf' commands return no values, ie:

---[ CUT ]---
bash$ cd /tmp
bash$ gnome-config --cflags gdk_pixbuf
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/lib/glib/include -I/usr/local/X11R6/include
bash$ gnome-config --libs gdk_pixbuf
-rdynamic -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/X11R6/lib -lgdk_pixbuf -ltiff
-ljpeg -lpng -lz -lgtk -lgdk -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXext -lX11 -lm

bash$ cd /usr/src/gnome-core-1.2.1
bash$ gnome-config --cflags gdk_pixbuf

bash$ gnome-config --libs gdk_pixbuf

---[ CUT ]---

	My system is an Intel arch'ed Linux 2.2.16 box, running 
egcs-2.91.66 with glibc 2.1.3.

	Thanks for your time,
