John,

Is there a way to search a file system tree for a specific file?

I can't find a .bashrc file. I found a file called /etc/bash.bashrc. Would
that be it?

Is pkgconfig a file or a directory? My /usr/local/lib directory is empty.
How else would I find out what to set this variable to?

My errors from configure were:

./configure: line 13558: syntax error near unexpected token
`BASE_DEPENDENCIES,'
./configure: line 13558: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(BASE_DEPENDENCIES, liblouis
libxml$

Where do I go from here?


Best regards from Ohio, U.S.A.,

Vic

Variable 

This variable tells the configure script where to find dependencies. You 
should add a line like this to your .bashrc file and then log out and 
log back in.

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/devel/lib/pkgconfig

The part after the = sign is system dependent. I can't say what it would 
be on your system, but it might be /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
