checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for GLIBMMDEPS_CFLAGS... -I/usr/include/glibmm-2.4 -I/usr/lib/glibmm-2.4/include -I/usr/include/sigc++-2.0 -I/usr/lib/sigc++-2.0/include -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include checking for GLIBMMDEPS_LIBS... -lglibmm-2.4 -lgobject-2.0 -lsigc-2.0 -lglib-2.0 checking for GTKMMDEPS_CFLAGS... checking for GTKMMDEPS_LIBS... configure: error: Package requirements (gtkmm-2.4 gdkmm-2.4 atkmm-1.6 pangomm-1.4) were not met. Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively you may set the GTKMMDEPS_CFLAGS and GTKMMDEPS_LIBS environment variables to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. Running pkg-config on each of the four listet requirements tells me that it's atkmm-1.6 that is missing. I will try bug 155240 comment 5 next.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 153294 ***
Yes, indeed a dup from what I can tell, and the workaround worked all right.
Thanks for reporting back.
