[Rlib-devel] pkg-config problems

[Jeff K. <kop...@um...>]

I'm having trouble getting this thing built, and I used to think it was 
only a problem with MacOSX, but now, its doing the same thing with 
Debian Linux.

Here's the last error I got when running ./configure :

> checking for libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.0... Package libxml-2.0 was not found 
> in the pkg-config search path.

I checked on the debian system and its got libxml2 version 2.6.11, 
which is more than current enough.

There aren't any special variables set, but the above libraries are 
located in /usr/lib, which should be a very standard place to be.

What am I doing wrong here?  Rlib looks like a great library, but if it 
doesn't compile, there's not much more to be done.

Alternatively, I'd love to see a set of binaries for both MacOSX and 
Debian linux.
