I am trying to install libvirt from source. The version I am trying to install is 1.2.7. I want libssh2 enabled. Here is how I call the configure script:
./configure --prefix=/home/administrator/dev/workspaces/libvirt/built/libvirt-1.2.7/ --with-sasl --with-qemu --with-lxc --with-gnutls --with-remote --with-ssh2 --with-polkit
I got the following error:
configure: error: You must install the libssh2 >= 1.3 pkg-config module to compile libvirt
I downloaded the libssh2 lib version 1.4.3 and installed it using the default options:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
Here is some useful info:
$ sudo ldconfig
$ sudo updatedb
$ locate libssh2.so
/usr/local/lib/libssh2.so
/usr/local/lib/libssh2.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libssh2.so.1.0.1
$ locate libssh2.pc
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libssh2.pc
$ pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig
Obviously the libssh2.pc file is on the pkg-config path. However, when I tried executing the configure script for libvirt, the same error occurred. Any ideas what I am doing wrong ? Thank you.
EDIT: Fragment of the config.log file:

34482 Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libssl.pc'
34483 to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
