Problem Building 2.0.1

   Trying to build 2.0.1 on my Slackware-10.2 system, and ./configure tells
me it cannot find cairo.pc or gtk+2 > 2.4.

   Taking the offered suggestion, I create the environment variable:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/gtk+-2.8.20

and try running ./configure again. Same errors show up:

checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4... Package cairo was not found in the
pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing
`cairo.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'cairo',
required by 'Pango Cairo', not found
configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4) not met; consider
adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in
a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

   I thought that pkg-config was only for gtk+1, not the latest version.
Regardless, I am not sure what else to do so that I can get past this point.

Suggestions?
