pkg-config --libs gtk
 Package gtk was not found in the pkg-config search path.
 Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk.pc'
 to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
 No package 'gtk' found

which pkg-config
 /usr/local/bin/pkg-config

which gtk-config
 /usr/bin/gtk-config

I hope you are joking here. Forking gtk-config would be a really 
evil hack. If that's indeed what pkg-config does, a crash is what
you deserve.


Salut, Sven
