I have glib-2.0.pc, gio-2.0.pc, gthread-2.0.pc, > gmodule-2.0.pc, and gobject-2.0.pc, all in /usr/lib/pkgconfig. Your post implies, at least to me, that you have installed libxml-2. If that is the case, you should have the pc file. If you have logs, check the libxml-2 build for any odd errors and, if you have reasonably-reliable¹ logs for what got installed, check if the pc file did get installed (but has been lost since then), or if it did not get installed.
Whatever, libxml-2 is needed and is supposed to install the pc file, so I think you will need to reinstall it. 1. I say "reasonably reliable" because I've had a lot of issues with my own logging over the years, e.g. files ignored because they were installed as-shipped and therefore were older than the compile. ĸen -- This email was written using 100% recycled letters. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
