I'm trying to compile the last version of Gimp (2.8.14), but i'm having some issues.
It doesn't recognize the installed libgegl-2.0 on the system, so i tried to compile gegl-2.0 from the source code, but it gives me other problems.
I noticed then that pkg-config is not finding many installed libraries, and when i tried searching for the .pc files on my system, i just found 5 of them, most are missing.
I already trying re-installing pkg-config, but it doesn't solve the problem.
Distribution: PCLinuxOS2023 CentOS7.9 + 50+ other Linux OS, for test only.

Welcome to LQ.
Gegl : $ sudo apt-get install libgegl-dev
Gimp : $ sudo apt-get install gimp
..... which will provide version 2.8.10 (Ubuntu 14.04).
A manual install of gegl :
If you did $ cd gegl*/ && ./configure
... the file gegl-0.2.pc is hidden in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
The gimp 'configure' will look in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH for the file.
Solution : You can either copy the file to /usr/lib/pkgconfig/,
or do this : $ cd gimp-2.8.14/
$ export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ && ./configure
But i already did search for the .pc files in those folders, i searched for hidden files as well.
There are only 5 .pc files in the whole system, and there's no .pc file for libgegl, and there is no development package for libgegl, only debug symbols package
