Hi All, Just installed the SuSE 9.2 vers. on this AMD Sempron 2200 based system. Going about trying to install software, ...it requires PKG-CONFIG So I logged in as root and got PKG-CONFIG and ./compile make, install... no problems... Then trying to install libgnome-2.8.1 I get this error: <snip> checking for pkg-config... no *** The pkg-config script could not be found. Make sure it is *** in your path, or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable *** to the full path to pkg-config. *** Or see http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig to get pkg-config. *** The pkg-config script could not be found.

I figure this is the key part: The pkg-config script could not be found. Make sure it is in your path, or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full path to pkg-config.The pkg-config script could not be found. Make sure it is in your path, or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full path to pkg-config. However, I don't know where these are set....where is a "path" variable in Linux ? Know how that is done in DOS but not in Linux... Anyone know where pkg_config_path environment variable is found ? I've looked for pkg related things and do find that the file /usr/local/bin/pkg-config does exist. And I found the pkg-config.1 man page, but don't see any help in there about this... Thanks all!
