[GNC] Compiling 2.6.12

[Paul Schwartz]

Thanks for the suggestion. I have been working through ./configure adding
new packages as it complains [including -dev ones]. I have now hit this

checking for webkit-1.0 >= "1.2"... no
Package webkit-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you
should add the directory containing `webkit-1.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
environment variable No package 'webkit-1.0' found
configure: error: Library requirements (webkit-1.0 >= "1.2") not met;
consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your
libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

There is a libwebkitgtk-1.0 installed in my system. My package manager
doesn't show webkit-1.0 and a web search didn't show anything promising.
Looking for more help.

Paul
