Then, the pkg.m4 file that pkgconfig is supposed to install cannot be=20
found by autoconf. It should be in /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4 or=20
something like that depending on your distribution.

By the way, you can also look at the following line when executing=20
./configure saying :
    checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config

If it does not find the pkg-config program in your PATH, then your=20
pkg-config install has definitely a problem.

I checked in the pkg-config changelog, and this version should have=20
everything we need.

Well, these are outdated (and by the way 2.5.x are development versions)=20
but they may be enough for the wxWidgets terminal.

That will be the main issue (once you solved your pkg-config problem) to=20
compile the wxWidgets terminal. If you really want to try it, you will=20
have to compile cairo from source (it has no dependency - at least none=20
of them is required for the wxWidgets terminal), and probably pango too,=20
unless you upgrade to suse 10.
