[Linux-disciples] How to help ./configure find what it needs.

[karl sokol]

I am running Suse 9 and have been having problems
configuring certain packages - most recently ardour. 
Everyhthing goes o.k. until I get ... 


*** The pkg-config script could not be found. Make
sure it is
*** in your path, or set the PKG_CONFIG environment
variable
*** to the full path to pkg-config.
*** Or see
ttp://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig to get
pkg-config.
configure: error: Library requirements (libxml-2.0 >=
2.5) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
environment variable if your libraries are in a
nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

However, pkg-config and libxml-2.0 are installed.  So,
how do I "set the PKG_CONFIG variable as the message
suggests?
