I've had to go on search and destroy missions over pkg-config myself, seems the rpms put it in /usr/bin, but the tarball usually puts it in /usr/local/bin. Its a pita when you know you've just installed version 15, but it keeps finding version 13 anyway, even after you've done an "rpm -e --nodeps `rpm -qa |grep pkg-config`, installed the newer one it wants and have run an ldconfig session... However, patience & perserverence will usually get the job done. >I think you should either make yourself familiar with some basic > UNIX concepts or stick with binary packages.
