I am trying to install LIBSRVG-2.50 however when i run ./configure the shell complains about the PKG_CONFIG_PATH. The Konsole shell says

"
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgsf-1.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libgsf-1' found
configure: WARNING: SVGZ support disabled, as requested (Use --with-svgz to enab
le)
checking for libcroco >= 0.1.0... Package libcroco was not found in the pkg-conf
ig search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libcroco.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libcroco' found "

now when i saw this i typed in echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH and now the shell says
/opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig


however a thorough search has shown that libcroco.pc exist in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig


so I now set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable by typing

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

i then run make clean
./configure

AND again and i still recieve the same errors
why is this happening when I set the environment to the correct path of the file that is needed.???? what am i doing wrong??? Im running Suse 9.0

anybody???

Did you fix your PKG_CONFIG_PATH before you compiled libcroco? I think that librsvg needs libcroco to be compiled linked to libgsf. So if libcroco couldn't find libgsf-1.pc in your PKG_CONFIG_PATH when you compiled it, librsvg won't be happy with the licroco.pc file it finds in your PKG_CONFIG_PATH now. I'm not sure though. You might get more expert help with these issues in the Gnome forums.

try (under root)

$ ldconfig /usr/local/lib/
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

then

$ ./configure

thank you for you reply,

im just trying to install librsvg because it is needed by another program called gFilerunner. Im basically fed up with nautilus so i uninstalled it and decided to install gFilerunner instead. Do you know what libcroco or libsrvg is for ???
