Add /usr/local to path for ./configure

Question

I am trying to install libvisio-0.1.5 which requires librevenge-0-0. I get the error:

checking for REVENGE... no
configure: error: Package requirements (
        librevenge-0.0
) were not met:

I just installed librevenge and I have all the pkg-config info, but they are in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig and not in /usr/lib/pkgconfig.

How can I tell ./configure to look always and by default at both /usr/lib/pkgconfig and /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig?

I tried

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
./configure

And I have:

$ pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config
/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig

What about REVENGE_CFLAGS & REVENGE_LIBS? – khrm May 31 '16 at 14:15 — khrm, May 31 '16 at 14:15

This command has always worked perfectly for me ....

export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig/

You have to do:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local
