Build process can't find libexif :(

[Troy McGuire <troy spawnordie com>]

Hello Everyone!

I have to use KDE for work, and had installed Nautilus on a previous KDE 
machine, but now I have a new machine and troubles getting Nautilus 
installed.  When I type "./configure" I eventually get:

checking for libExif... checking for EXIF... checking for EXIF... 
configure: error: Package requirements (libexif = 0.5.12) were not met:

No package 'libexif' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables EXIF_CFLAGS
and EXIF_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
********** END OF ERROR MESSAGE **********

When I first saw this I got libexif (source) and installed it.  I have 
also verified that it is in /usr/local/lib  However, when I run 
./configure for Nautilus again, it says that it still can't find it :(  
I tried looking at "man pkg-config" but it really didn't make much sense 
to me, neither does the environment variable adjusting.  Is there a file 
that I can edit to give it the path to the files related to libexif?  Or 
is there something to add to the end of the ./configure command that 
will take care of this?

Help!  I can't stand Konqueror!

Thank You,
