dbus-glib installation problem

[Matt Hoosier]

Hi Luigi,

I've recently built the combination of dbus-0.93 and dbus-glib-0.71
without any trouble. As long as your SUSE distribution has a
reasonably modern version of pkg-config, you shouldn't need to set
$PKG_CONFIG manually. You can instead use $PKG_CONFIG_PATH to instruct
the existing pkg-config binary to search additional paths for .pc
files from hand-compiled software.

If you compiled dbus-0.93 with "--prefix=$dbus_prefix", then make sure
that the shell from which you launch the configure script of
dbus-glib-0.71 has an environment variable set (and exported) like the
following:

  PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${dbus_prefix}/lib/pkgconfig

If that still doesn't allow the dbus-glib build find the correct
information, can you post back the results of running

  pkg-config --cflags --libs dbus-1

to this list? It might also be useful for you to give us the contents
of ${dbus_prefix}/lib/pkgconfig/dbus-1.pc.
