I am trying to 'configure' polkit, but I am getting:

configure: error: Package requirements (gio-2.0 >= 2.28.0) were not met:

No package 'gio-2.0' found

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

I have configured glib with --prefix=/home/ddoria/bin and then 'make'
and 'make install'.

I have these in my .bashrc:
export PATH=$PATH:/home/ddoria/bin/
export PATH=$PATH:/home/ddoria/bin/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/ddoria/bin/lib
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/home/ddoria/bin/lib:/home/ddoria/bin/

The libgio that it is looking for indeed exists where it should:
/home/ddoria/bin/lib$ ls
gio
glib-2.0
libgio-2.0.la
libgio-2.0.so

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thanks,

David

The package config path usually ends in pkgconfig, in your case probably
/home/ddoria/bin/lib/pkgconfig

Check for a file called gio-2.0.pc

This is wrong, each item in PKG_CONFIG_PATH should be like $prefix/lib/pkgconfig, so /home/ddoria/bin/lib/pkgconfig in your case.

Ah, I see. Thanks!
