Seeing as I haven't been that active on the list recently, and now have
my own private thread going here, I'd thought i'd reply to myself to let
myself know how I solved this problem.   Basically, the pkg-config that
came with my distro was installed in /usr , and when I updated it myself
from source I installed it in /usr/local. A bit of googling revealed
that the PKG_CHECK_MODULES error was probably due to pkg-config not
being able to find  pkg.m4, so I copied this file from 
/usr/local/share/aclocal/ to /usr/share/aclocal/ and then all was well
again :=)

apologies for wasting everyones bandwidth,
Jordan.
