John,
I had to install pkg-config. Once I did both liblouis and liblouisutdml seem
to have compiled successfully. What should I look for to make sure they did
compile correctly? The HTML documentation files are there. I didn't have to
set the environment variable.
The updated command doesn't work. The locate command doesn't either. Any
idea what I might need to install to get this to work?
Thanks so much for all your help.
Best regards from Ohio, U.S.A.,
Vic

Hi Vic,
I think you are using archlinux. I'm not familiar with this
distribution. However, you should have a .bashrc file in your home
directory. You can also make the changes in the /etc file. That will
make them systemwide. I take it that liblouis compiles. Perhaps it was
placed in /user/lib, so you could chek there.
pkgconfig is both a directory and a program or shell script. You may
have to install it. You will need pkg-config-0.22.tar.gz To find out if
pkgconfig is already on your system the best way is to use the locate
comand. To activate it you must log in as root and then type updatedb
the command
locate pkg
will then find all files on your system beginning with pkg . This may be
a lengthy list, so you might want to use
locate pkg |more
