Could that be a problem with the version of the autotools you are using? As far as I know the PKG_CHECK_MODULES macros are included in the source. > Then I just had > to fix the make and install scripts to use /usr/local (old habits die > hard), and I now have it successfully installed. I thought it was using /usr/local by default. Anyway, couldn't you just do ./configure --prefix=/usr/local? > PS Are you aware that the read-only directory that gets checked out is > "liblousxml-read-only" (no "i")? Hm, that seems odd. I checked the checkout page at the Google code site (http://code.google.com/p/liblouisxml/source/checkout) where it says "svn checkout http://liblouisxml.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ liblouisxml-read-only" so the "i" is there.
