*.pc files are usually in a -dev package, because you only need them when compiling things. Searching http://packages.ubuntu.com for 'gobject-introspection-1.0.pc' tells me it's located in libgirepository1.0-dev. > I also tried: > export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/gobject-introspection/giscanner/ Close... Debian/Ubuntu usually puts *.pc files into /usr/lib/pkgconfig, I think this is where most libraries that look for *.pc files will check first. You would only need PKG_CONFIG_PATH if you compiled a library into /usr/local/lib or /opt/local/lib for example. If something you are trying to compile is not working and complaining about missing *.pc files, then manually double-check for the *.pc file in /usr/lib/pkgconfig and install/re-install the -dev package it comes from if the file is not physically there.
