Vic,

Please resend the link to the Vinux suport list. I can't find that 
lmessage. Thanks.

You have now run into my favorite gotcha, pkgconfig . Type the 
following.

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

To make sure that you don't have to type this again, add it as the last 
line to your .bashrc file.

John
