build configure script error

[Rajinder Yadav]

I was able to figure it out, seems like pkg-config was confused where to look. The config script worked after I typed the following:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib 
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

I first compiled freetype2 and fontconfig from source to have the latest. Also learned a few other things from your responses, thanks again!

Now, I can get to building gkt+, wxGTK and ultimately CodeBlock my C++ IDE =)

Kind Regards,
Rajinder Yadav
