I downloaded the following from gnome.org "bonobo-activation-1.0.3.tgz" and gunzipped then untarred it and changed to the resulting directory. When I ran `./configure` it got through most checks fine, except for the pkg-config ones near the end. Here is the output: "... checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config checking for gmodule-2.0 >= 2.0.1 ORBit-2.0 >= 2.4.0 linc >= 0.5.1... Requested 'ORBit-2.0 >= 2.4.0' but version of ORBit-2.0 is 2.3.109 configure: error: Library requirements ( gmodule-2.0 >= 2.0.1 ORBit-2.0 >= 2.4.0 linc >= 0.5.1) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them." Once this happened, I went searching simply for a download of the latest gmodule file but couldn't find anything pertinent! Since the error above said to consider adjusting PKG_CONFIG_PATH (currently not set), I read the manpage for pkg-config: "pkg-config retrieves information about packages from special metadata files. These files are named after the package, with the extension .pc. By default, pkg-config looks in the directory prefix/lib/pkgconfig for these files; it will also look in the colon-separated (on Windows, semicolon- separated) list of directories specified by the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable." I couldn't find my ..../lib/pkgconfig directory or locate sample PKG_CONFIG_PATH statements on the web. Can someone clue me in please? -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
