I don't know about python, but gtk relies heavily on pkg-config. Is
your PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable set correctly?
What tipped me off was pangocairo. Pangocairo is not a real package,
it's a set of pkgconfig includes that is built when you compile pango
and cairo in the correct order (I don't remember which offhand) so
that one is aware of the other. It's good that you have it. If the
configure script is checking for that, it's likely using pkgconfig.
What a lot of packages do to see if you have something is to make a
small c executable and include a header from the package they want to
check. With most gtk and X11 packages, that means calling pkgconfig
-cflags $packagename. So if you try that call on the command line
(e.g. pkgconfig -cflags gtk), given your situation you should get an
error message.
pc files for pkgconfig are usually located in $PREFIX/share.
PKG_CONFIG_PATH is colon seperated just like PATH.
For the configure script to recognize something, pkgconfig -libs and
pkgconfig -cflags must both work, and your c compiler needs to be able
to compile a hello world using all the flags both those calls
generate. In other words, this needs to work:
cat > hello.c << EOF
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){printf("hello world\n");}
EOF
gcc -o test `pkgconfig -cflags gtk` `pkgconfig -libs gtk` hello.c
./test
and you can replace gtk with whatever package you need to test for. If
you want to be REALLY sure that it's working correctly, you can even
include a real header from whatever package you're testing for, but
it's not necessary, and the above recipe is generic and can be cut and
pasted to your heart's content.
