XFCE4 FreeBSD 5.1 install problems

[Olivier Fourdan]

Bram,

Is your PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable properly set?

>From the man page:

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.
 
Cheers,
Olivier.
