Details

gtksourceview installs in /opt/gnome/, and puts its pkgconfig file in /opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig, which, unfortunately is not in the pkgconfig search path, and therefore when I attempt to compile something that requires it, it can't find the pkgconfig file.

Either the pkgconfig needs to be moved to be in the pkgconfig path, (ie: /usr/lib/pkgconfig) or PKG_CONFIG_PATH needs to be set so that this directory is searched by pkgconfig.

As a workaround for now, i'm just doing:

# export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig

when I need to compile something.
This task depends upon
