I assume that PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG should exist somewhere to run. if pkg-config-0.23.tar.gz is installed, > where PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG is expected to be? First, I just looked at the tarball, and if you just run configure right away it should be fine. Are you running any commands before you run ./configure? Could you show the output of the commands? Second, if you really need to rebuild the autotools, then the pkg-config autoconf macros need to be available. If you have the output from autoreconf, it might help. You also don't need to run all the commands as root. -- Dan _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
