Juan, I wanted to try cheesetracker but it was almost
impossible
for me to install. I got the source, and it said i needed a build
tool. So i got the build tool and then that moaned that pkg-config
wasn't working right.

pkg-config is a bit silly about paths sometimes... IIRC, if you
install something in /usr/local, it won't be found by something
you're trying to install in /usr.
Can be solved by moving the .pc files around (normally found in
PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig), or making symlinks.
However, I think the proper solution is to install things so that you
never have dependencies in the wrong direction. It makes some sense
that libs in /usr shouldn't depend on /usr/local.
