Pkg-config error during install

gentoonix · 08-13-2007, 08:01 PM

checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old. Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config. <<< this is the error if more info is needed let me know ... the program im attempting to install is GTK ... but for some reason its not picking up my pkg-config ... any help will be appreciated

google is my god ... for everything ... my linux boxes homepages are www.google.com/linux ... im not an idiot ... cmon now ... that wiki doesnt tell me anything ... other than it can be installed on winblows and Mac Os x ... which i already knew ... i posted my configure error ... i have the packages already installed ... its just not locating them ... so instead of attempting to laugh at me ... some advice would actually be nice ... if i wanted to hear someone laugh ... id post "windows vista is god" in here ... but we all know that isnt true

just add the path to the ./configure <parameters> like --with-/usr/lib/pkgconfig
