After getting the source and rebuilding them (libsndfile and fftw), the .pc files were now in place (/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig) and the gwc build successfully got past those points. So, why do I not have the .pc metadata files in my FC3 even though the actual library files were there (in /usr/lib) all along?

This reminds me that when I installed FC3 from CCRMA, I choose NOT to install any of the "Development" packages like: "Development Tools" "X Software Development" "Gnome Software Development" etc Would installing these have prevented these dependency problems? I thought I'd try to go back and add them from the FC3 CDs but when I check them and say "go" I get a "Packages Not Found" error pop-up saying installation cannot continue because a bunch of packages could not be found like netpbm, xorg-x11-libs, glib2, pygtk2, gtk2. So now I can't even add packages from the original FC3 CDs I installed from. 8^( help.... 8^) Mike Mike Jewell One-Up Audio
