Yepp.  Works.  Great work, thanks!

=46WIW: If I understand correctly, you say that this problem occurs if
there is no pkgconfig.  But actually, I have pkgconfig installed.
OTOH the distribution (SuSE 9.3) is rather outdated:

wiefer@localhost:~> rpm -qa |grep -i pkgconfig
pkgconfig-0.15.0-201
wiefer@localhost:~> rpm -qa |grep -i wx
wxGTK-2.5.3.1-5
wxGTK-gl-2.5.3.1-5
wxGTK-compat-2.5.3.1-5
wxGTK-devel-2.5.3.1-5
wiefer@localhost:~> rpm -qa |grep -i cairo
wiefer@localhost:~>=20


Thanks,
Juergen
