How about reporting the error you really see? For example, what does the
"configure" script say when it tries to run the pkg-config tests?

What does

        pkg-config --mod-version glib-2.0

report? Does

        pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0

show an -I and a -L path that point to /usr/local/.... ?

Knowing the atk build system, I suspect you are seeing a problem where
your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is not set correctly and a subsequent
test in configure is failing. There was another post about this on this
list a while back, so you could try entering the first few lines of the
error message into Google and seeing what that says.

But we really are going to need to see the error output, rather than
just "it won't find it". Things don't just fail quietly in GNOME -- they
tend to bleed all over the floor, leaving clues. :-)

(And please post reply to the list, not just to me, since I may not be
reading my mail for a day or so and somebody else may also be able to
help.)

Keep trying, though. We are generally willing to help with build
problems. We just are not telepathic. :-)
