Other distributions (my references are SuSE and Ubuntu) intclude the .pc files with the "dev" packages of different software. My workaround has been to boot up into SuSE and/or Ubuntu, fiugure out how they do the .pc files, then come back to OpenSolaris and hack some .pc files so that standard configuraiton or make files distributed by software will work and compile. Is there a bug where we can vote to have the dev packages to come with the .pc files? -H
