I am running Debian Linux Sarge on a PIII, I have apt-get(ed)
gtkmm-2.4x-*.
When I type 'pkg-config gtkmm-2.4 --cflags' at the command prompt as
the Super User I get the following results:
-DXTHREADS -I/usr/local/include/glibmm-2.4 -I/usr/local/lib/glibmm-2.4/
include -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/
include -I/usr/local/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/
X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/gtkmm-2.4 -I/
usr/lib/gtkmm-2.4/include -I/usr/include/gdkmm-2.4 -I/usr/lib/
gdkmm-2.4/include -I/usr/include/pangomm-1.4 -I/usr/include/atkmm-1.6 -
I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/include/sigc++-2.0 -I/usr/lib/sigc++-2.0/
include -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include

Which is what I was expecting.
But the same as a regular user I get:

$pkg-config gtkmm-2.4 --cflags
Package gtkmm-2.4 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtkmm-2.4.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtkmm-2.4' found

The PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable does not contain any values since
'echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH' displays nothing

What can I do to fix this problem, I would like to write some programs
using gtkmm but I need to do it from the some other account than 'su'.

T.I.A.

Try setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH like this.

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ pkg-config gtkmm-2.4 --cflags
