What were you trying to do?
Compile a program which used pkg-config for determinining
configuration flags.
What's wrong:
pkg-config can't deal with directories in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
environment variable, which have trailing slashes, and instead
of merely removing the trailing slash, removes the trailing slash,
and the last character of the filename. Thus, configure failed.
This appears to have been fixed in pkg-config 0.12, which I have
installed for linux and solaris in the mono locker.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I've placed the truss output of running /usr/athena/bin/pkg-config and
/mit/mono/arch/sun4x_58/bin/pkg-config respectively, (with
PKG_CONFIG_PATH set to "/mit/gtk_v2.0/lib/pkgconfig/"), in
/mit/aatharuv/Public/pkgconfig
