I ran into this yesterday.=20

For some time now, I've had to build java-gnome WITHIN a jhbuild
environment, that is:

        $ cd ~/cvs/gnome2/java-gnome/libgtk-java
        $ jhbuild shell
        % ./autogen --prefix=3D/opt/gnome2

And then it works. I had forgotten this, and yesterday was getting the
problem you quote.  I think my specific problem is that because I had a
different prefix, I had to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH set to include the
alternate prefix's .pc files. ie,=20

        export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=3D/opt/gnome2/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconf=
ig
       =20
and THEN autogen worked.


[Notably, one of the other results of all this is that I have to run
eclipse as=20

        $ jhbuild run /opt/eclipse/eclipse

or, rather, as

        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D/opt/gnome2/lib /opt/eclipse/eclipse

which is really annoying; but one thing which makes me happy is that I
figured out the linker syntax

	-Wl,--rpath=3D/opt/gnome2/lib

So when I'm generating binaries with gcj there are no enviornment
variable issues at all.

To be honest, this is all a horrid kludge. In part its borne of the fact
that I have at present a gnome 2.6 installation and haven't gotten
around to upgrading to gnome 2.8, and needed the gnome 2.8 libraries to
build java-gnome.]
