I'm new to this building your own software stuff, but since I really like
Shotwell I tought I'd get my hand dirty and do my bit to help out.
I'm following the build instructions from this page:
http://www.yorba.org/shotwell/install/#source but when I try to build gexiv2
I get this error:

Package exiv2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `exiv2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'exiv2' found
make: *** [gexiv2/gexiv2-metadata.o] Fout 1

exiv2 0.19-3 is installed on my PC running Ubuntu 10.10

Can somebody tell me what to do, thanks.

Regards,
Cor.
