Any idea where the PolicyKit .pc files are?  For example, I've got:

/usr/lib/pkgconfig/polkit-dbus.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/polkit-grant.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/polkit.pc

but yours may be installed in /usr/share/pkgconfig or whatever.  The
best way to figure out is to list the files in your PolicyKit devel
package that you've installed (or if you haven't installed the devel
package for PK, do that!), and look for the location of .pc files.  Let
me know where any are.
