PKG_CONFIG_PATH >CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY THESE INSTALLERS ARE LOOKING IN THE WRONG >PLACE. Please. Please help. This is so frustrating. There are (at least) two conventions for where to install things in a linux system. When using any given convention, you have to take specific, explicit steps to tell the compile/install process to also use the other convention when resolving dependencies etc. Unfortunately, there is no single step that you can take to do this. Instead, you have to use --prefix with configure, set PKG_CONFIG_PATH and various other things. Its basically a total nightmare. --p _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
