What is broken is pkgconfig. The PKGCONFIG_PATH has to be set correctly.
Apparently the commands I gave didn't do it. I don't know why Apple
doesn't provide pkgconfig. In the terminal, try typing the command
whereis lou_translate
This will show where this program is installed. It will give me a better
idea of how to set the path.
I agree that the configure, make make install stiff is overly
complicated. It would be nice to have somethign like Java's Ant.
