When ckecking for LIBDV says is not there, but its installed and says:
"Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed in a non-standard prefix
Alternativeky you may set the LIBDV_CFLAGS and LIBDV_LIBS environment variable to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See pkg-config man page for more details"

1) How do I adjust the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
2) How can i set the LIBDV_CFLAGS and LIBDV_LIBS

environmente variables?

It helps to search the forums:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...KG_CONFIG_PATH

you add things to environment variables with the export command and check them with the echo command.

It also helps to add your distro (and location) to your profile.
Some folk have been leaving this off because they think it is a security risk - this is not correct. Security advice is in the tutorials.

Thanks

I have to improve my search skills

Any way, I would like to solve my problems by the 2 ways. For the 1st I will try it but I would like also to know "how can i set the LIBDV_CFLAGS and LIBDV_LIBS"

Bye

These are the same - they are stated to be environment variables, and you set environment variables with the "export" command. (Check what they are set to with the "echo" command, you may need to append the setting rather than overwrite the existing one.)

It can be instructive to open the "configure" file with a text editor. Search that file for these variable names too - you may well vind a line, close to the start, that reads "LIBDVD_CFLAGS=" then blank.

Used to be routine to edit the makefile in this way.
