Give us a hint of actual detail here...what fink package-version are
you using now, and exactly how "recently" (how old was the one where
it worked?)

Are you sure you're running *fink's* pkg-config program (try running
/sw/bin/pkg-config instead of relying on PATH just to be sure).

That does look like a problem. I'm not near a fink box to test it.
