Serdar- The reason that setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/bin" isn't working for you is that you need to set PKG_CONFIG when you invoke the configure: sh PKG_CONFIG=/usr/local/bin/pkg-config ./configure The PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable, if you intend to use it, should be set before invoking configure as well. This variable, though, is not intended (from what I've observed) for telling the configure script how to locate pkg-config; rather, it is used for telling pkg-config where too look for the .pc files that pkg-config uses for storing data about toolchains. For an example of using PKG_CONFIG_PATH, when I build the gtk+ libraries, I have several libs that are installed in non-standard locations. For example, I keep my glib installations installed at /et/sw/opensource/glib/2.2.3, and the .pc files for the installation are kept in /et/sw/opensource/glib/2.2.3/lib/pkgconfig, so I invoke configure as: sh PKG_CONFIG=/usr/local/bin/pkg-config PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/et/sw/opensource/glib/2.2.3/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=...
