It is installed and it is in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig I believe. I have 
properly set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH as well.

Checking the contents sounds like a plan. Though I'm 99.99% certain that it 
is the correct version number.

Then I'm afraid it's probably broken. The FreeBSD port uses pkg-config 
0.15.0 I believe (may be mistaking), is this version known to have problems 
and should I switch to an older version?

On a side note, I have tried a few unorthodox methods as well, to no avail. 
I was, erhm, kind (or sadistic?) enough to massacre the configure file and 
remove the part where it checks for the file, but then new errors emerge so 
I guess that's not a very good thing to do.

I think I'm going to destroy my pkg-config.

Thx,
