>Release:        FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT i386
>Organization:
Networked Knowledge Systems
>Environment:

	any recent ports tree

>Description:

	lib-tool using ports that genereate a <portname<version>>-config executable make
	other ports unable to figure out that you have the library installed.

>How-To-Repeat:

	A prime example is installing xscreensaver on a newly installed box.  
	Ports will build glib and gtk for you but the configure script for
	xscreensaver fail to find them, as they are installed as /usr/local/bin/glib12-config
	and gtk12-config, keeping the xscreensaver-demo-Gtk
	executable from building.

>Fix:

	Either fix the glib/gtk dependant ports to look for the gtk12-config type 
	lib-tools or fix the libtool using ports to make them install symbolic links
	to the version of of the lib-config the port just installed.
