Description Frank Solensky 2005-08-22 02:18:35 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Fedora 4

I loaded garnome 2.11.91 on a new system with the Fedora 4 distro. 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set.
Build runs until it reaches nautilus-2.11.91; fails in the configure script at
line 25872 and indicates a dependency on libexif >= 0.5.12.  libexif and
libexif-devel packages _are_ installed and at rev 0.6.12.

Running "pkg-config --modversion libexif" indicates 0.6.12 is found
Running the version that $PKG_CONFIG points to (garnome/bin/pkgconfig v 0.19.0)
indicates that it's not found.
Explicitly setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib/pkgconfig and running pkg-config
v0.19.0 again indicates that the dependency is satisfied.
Comment 1 Frank Solensky 2005-08-22 02:26:33 UTC 
Environment variable should be PKG_CONFIG_PATH, not LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Comment 2 Paul Drain 2005-08-22 02:29:34 UTC 
...although technically, NOTABUG.

This was caused by not explicitly setting /usr/lib/pkgconfig in the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH export within gar.conf.mk in 2.11.91.

I was under the false assumption that distributions did the correct thing in
relation to pkgconfig files, then everyone using Fedora Core jumped up and down
screaming.

The older behaviour was re-instated for last Thursday's snapshot release, and
will continue to be the default for GARNOME 2.12.x
