hi,
trying to install gnotime from sourceforge tarball and running configure gives seemingly improper result for the following test:
12526 if $PKG_CONFIG --exists "libgtkhtml-3.1 >= $LIBGTKHTML_REQUIRED" ; then
12527 echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: yes" >&5
12528 echo "${ECHO_T}yes" >&6
12529 succeeded=yes
12530
(some line numbers on the left)
full portion of that part of configure script at end of mail.
running from commandline gives proper responde returned $? of 1 as here:
[joe@www joe]$ sudo su
[root@www joe]# pkg-config --exists "libgtkhtml-3.1 >= 3.0.0"
[root@www joe]# echo $?
1
[root@www joe]#
however, configure script dies like this:
-------------------------------------------------------
checking for libgtkhtml-3.1 >= 3.0.0... Package libgtkhtml-3.1 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgtkhtml-3.1.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libgtkhtml-3.1' found
configure: error: Library requirements (libgtkhtml-3.1 >= 3.0.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
-------------------------------------------------------
is there an explanation for this behavior? maybe, something outside the box?

thanks@@@@@!!!!!!!!
