    Yes I have read everything I can find :)

    I am installing on FC3.  I'm trying to install 3.0.2 which says it no longer requires gtkmm, so I have ignored those instructions from other threads.  Libsigc++ 1.2.5 was installed using yum, since their download page strongly recommended using the distro-provided packages if possible.

    Configure runs fine until:
    checking for sigc++-2.0 >= 2.0.0... no
    checking for sigc++-1.2 >= 1.2.3... no
    configure: error: Library requirements (sigc++-1.2 >= 1.2.3) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

    And here is what else I know:

    [root@orion-l efax-gtk-3.0.2]# locate pkgconfig | grep '/pkgconfig$'
    /usr/share/pkgconfig
    /usr/lib/pkgconfig
    /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/pkgconfig
    [root@orion-l efax-gtk-3.0.2]# echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
    /usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig
    [root@orion-l efax-gtk-3.0.2]# locate libsigc | grep pkgconfig
    [root@orion-l efax-gtk-3.0.2]# locate libsigc
    /var/cache/yum/extras/headers/libsigc++-1.2.5-5.i386.hdr
    /var/cache/yum/extras/packages/libsigc++-1.2.5-5.i386.rpm

    /usr/lib/libsigc-1.2.so.5.0.5
    [root@orion-l efax-gtk-3.0.2]#

    Any help appreciated...

      Hi,

      It looks as if you have not installed the libsigc++-devel package.  You are lacking /usr/lib/pkgconfig/sigc++-1.2.pc and the libsigc++ header files.

      By the way there is a pre-compiled binary for FC3 available via the home page, but compiling your own is not a bad step!

        Precompiled FC3: I tried that first.  However, on attempting to install it I got the message "not a valid RPM file" despite repeated downloads.

        Besides, frustrating though it can be, you learn stuff when you compile your own. :)

        That has done the trick; thanks very much.
