Hi. At this point you should use your distribution binary packages. It's a trivial trouble and if you don't know the answer you may think about waiting to get more experience before going further with your own compilation. pkg-config not found means that either you've not installed it correctly or you don't know how to add a path. Try to add: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin PKG_CONFIG_PATH is when pkg-config works but doesn't find the .pc file installed in its default directory. Setting correctly the library path is left as an exercice. Same applies for the automake/autoconf that you shouldn't need to use if your getting your sources from the tarballs. Again, you should really get your distribution binary packages and forget about compiling by yourself for now.
