Problems installing gnome-python


i'm trying to install gdesklets on my box, and i've installed everything, pygtk, pyorbit, etc., but when i come to install gnome-python this is the error that comes up when i type in ./configure --prefix=/usr

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 >= 2.0.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
bash-2.05b#


how do i change the environment variables. i just compiled and installed pygtk just before i went into compiling gnome-python
any help would be gladly appreciated.

TIA

You need to know where pygtk-2.0.pc is.
Probably /usr/lib/pkgconfig.
cd to the gnome-python build directory and before doing ./configure --prefix=/usr ,
go su and do /sbin/ldconfig ,
go regular user and do , export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig
Then compile, this is assuming that /usr/lib/pkgconfig is where pygtk-2.0.pc is.

Just a note, the order for installation must be :
pyorbit
pygtk
gnome-python

All must be compiled with --prefix=/usr
