This comes from two deliberate decisions in Fink: 1. Every package that installs a *.pc file must have a dependency on the pkgconfig package. 2. The pkgconfig package links dynamically to Fink's libglib instead of statically to its own libglib. In the case of libpng3, 1. is questionable, IMHO. It does not use pkg-config, it simply installs two files into /sw/lib/pkgconfig/. As for 2., if you build pkgconfig, it needs glib. If you link to it statically, you can avoid having it installed afterwards, but you are building it anyway. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
