I do have pkg-config installed

     $ /usr/local/bin/pkg-config --version
     0.23

and my pkg.m4 is installed under

      /usr/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4

However, even after setting

     export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/local/share/aclocal"

I still get the same error message.

I think the problem lies with glib.
Just doing the typical ./configure && make && make install doesn't 
work on the Mac - at least I haven't been able to manually install it. I 
am relying on the macports version, and checking the port file they have 
had to make quite a lot of patches to get it to compile on the mac. I 
wonder how well tested and stable it really is.
