[Foresight Linux] gcc works now-but no pkg-config

[John Yurcik]

(former email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] didn't configure correctly)

Thanks for the help! Doing sudo conary update glibc:devel
resulted in:   The following updates will be performed:

   Install glibc:devel=2.3.6-8-0.1[~glibc.tls]

   Install glibc:devellib=2.3.6-8-0.1[~glibc.tls]

   Install linux-kernel-headers:devel=2.4-9-0.1

Applying update job:

   Install glibc:devel=2.3.6-8-0.1

   Install glibc:devellib=2.3.6-8-0.1

   Install linux-kernel-headers:devel=2.4-9-0.1

I'm not sure why the kernel header is a different version than what I'm running but that's not a big issue.

In attempting to do ./configure now it starts but then I get this:

checking for DEPS... configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old.  Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.

Alternatively you may set the DEPS_CFLAGS and DEPS_LIBS environment variables
to avoid the need to call pkg-config.  See the pkg-config man page for
more details.

I didn't find a pkg-config on my system although there is a man page. I was told by someone on irc today that using cvc is the foresight way rather than ./configure, make, make install. Should I install pkg-config or what is the best way to get my system to be able to compile packages? I am new to conary as you can tell.

Thanks for any assistance.
