I apologize for replying so late. G. Moko, after trying with the first command you asked me to; i.e., ./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) --libexecdir=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome The configuration went well. Though after using the second command that you mentioned, i.e., GNOME_PATH=`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0` echo $GNOME_PATH I got the following as the result pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0 Also, I do use bash as my shell. And I never installed anything in /opt, /usr was always my first option for installation.
