Ok, I reinstalled the NEWER developer crap and now that damn error is gone, but I am still getting "pkg-config can not be found".  I already installed it by doing ./configure then make and then make install.  How do I get glib to know that pkg-config is on my system?

Xcode kicks more ass than command line tools

Depends on where you put pkg-config and what configuration options the program you want to install takes.

Try"
./configure --help | more

which will tell you what configuration options there are.  It might let you give library paths or include paths.

If pkg-config is a library, you need to update your libraries.  Edit ld.conf to make sure the library path you are using (ie /usr/local/lib) is in there.  If not, add it.  Then run ldconfig to update the library paths.

Also, you could export a variable telling it where pkg-config is.  Use the setenv command for tcsh (on a Mac) or export for bash.

whereis is a command that sorta works like find.  It doesn't find normal files, though.  It only finds executable files and paths.  It's a completely harmless command, and did not fuck up your system.
