Hi All
          You think that would be the case Doc but even though I tried 
to do a compile with the PKG_CONFIG_PATH set to /usr/lib64/pkgconfig the 
standard location on my Mandriva system and built bondb2 such that it 
was installed in /usr/lib64 and bondb2 in the /usr/lib64/pkgconfig bond 
would still not build it just wouldn't find bondb2.pc the only way it 
would find it was in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig. I have to confess I 
thought it extremely bizarre at the time and I spent a whole evening 
trying to get to the bottom of it. The only thing I discovered was that 
if I cut and pasted (into a terminal) the commands that scons generated 
when run. (the commands it used to check for the existence of the 
packages) the packages were found with no problem so it would seem that 
scons it picking up an environment variable setting from somewhere other 
than the ones that I had set. I have no idea what was wrong. I even 
deleted all the hidden config files that scons uses so that they would 
be re-generated.
Scons is still bit of a mystery to me.
