Error compiling libraries - PKG_CHECK_MODULES

[John Beales]

Hi,

I had pkg-config installed already, however, I found the problem
eventually.  I only got the error when I ran ./configure directly.  When I
ran ./autogen.sh it worked fine, so I did that instead, (also, the stuff was
installed in a more recognizable fashion).
