How do you configure and by-pass the package stuff. My system seems

have everything neccassary to build inkscape. But, since I built a lot
from source and Slackware packages they are not in a .pc file so
./configure fails.
So, can is there a configure option that will build the make files and
let me take care of any library problems by hand?
My libs are in what is considered the "statndard" dirs. /usr/lib,
/lib, /usr/X11/lib, etc...

Tj,
Hi. I build from source a lot, too, and I get stuff installed to
/usr/local a lot,
so I have the same problem. Look here at some notes that we have for
compiling:

The info you need is probably how to prepend your pkgconfig dir(s) to
the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable. Once pkg-config can find those .pc
files, things should get a lot easier.
