LinuxQuestions.org - compilation error webkitgtk

Version:Slackware 13.37/stable/x86_64 (Multilib)

I am currently attempting to update webkitgtk-1.3.4-x86_64-1_SBo with the current stable webkitgtk-1.6.3.
I have adjusted the slackbuild to notice the updated package. The compilation stops with the following error.

Code:

checking for GAIL... no

configure: error: Package requirements (gail-3.0 >= 3.0) were not met:



No package 'gail-3.0' found



Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

installed software in a non-standard prefix.



Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GAIL_CFLAGS

and GAIL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

Checking for gail shows me the version of gail installed in my system.

Code:

ldconfig -v | grep gail*

        libgailutil.so.18 -> libgailutil.so.18.0.1

I have looked and can't find gail-3.0.
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gail/ has the following...

I added

Code:

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}" \

to the Slackbuild, but it didn't help.

I'm a bit puzzled and hopefully someone can guide me through this.

Best regards
