Installing gnome-python 2.0.2

I really want to install gDesklets. I've read all about it and realize I need to install a lot of software before I actually get my maachine capable to run it. So I've installed:
Python 2.3
PyGTK 2.3.94
PyOrbit 2.0.0

They all installed w/o a hitch but next I get to installing gnome-python 2.0.2 and I get this when i run:
./configure

Code:

...
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for pygtk-2.0 >= 2.0.0... Package pygtk-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pygtk-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'pygtk-2.0' found

configure: error: Library requirements (pygtk-2.0 >= 2.0.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

I figure that i need to export PKG_CONFIG_PATH but where is pygtk-2.0.pc located?

Slackware 10
Gnome 2.6

Thanks

pygtk-2.0.pc will probably be in:
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/
or:
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

It belongs in /usr/lib/pkgconfig.

When installing Pyorbit, Pygtk, and Gnome-Python on Slack the
following steps always work for me:

Pyorbit:
./configure --prefix=/usr

Pygtk:
./configure --prefix=/usr

Gnome-python:
./configure --prefix=/usr

In that order!

You should also do an /sbin/ldconfig after each make install.

Thanks it was in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
