>Description:

pidgin now relies on libXScrnSaver, which fails with:


checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for XSCRNSAVER... configure: error: Package requirements (x11 xext 
xextproto scrnsaverproto >= 1.1) were not met.
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively you may set the XSCRNSAVER_CFLAGS and XSCRNSAVER_LIBS environment 
variables
to avoid the need to call pkg-config.  See the pkg-config man page for
more details.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
bmake: stopped in /usr/bsd/src/x11/libXScrnSaver
WARNING: *** Please consider adding fortran to USE_LANGUAGES in the package 
Makefile.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

... this is odd, because amongst my installed packages I have:

Xfixes-2.0.1nb4/
Xrandr-1.0.2nb3/
Xrender-0.9.0nb2/
fixesproto-4.0/
x11-links-0.40/
xcmiscproto-1.1.2/
xcursor-1.1.2nb2/
xdg-dirs-1.4/
xdg-x11-dirs-1.4/
xextproto-7.0.3/
xf86bigfontproto-1.1.2/
xproto-7.0.14/

Attempting to build 'xauth' (as a randomly-chosen X11 package) goes in to 
slightly more detail:


checking for XAUTH... configure: error: Package requirements (x11 xau xext 
xmuu) were not met:

No package 'x11' found
No package 'xau' found
No package 'xext' found
No package 'xmuu' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XAUTH_CFLAGS
and XAUTH_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

*** Error code 1

Stop.
bmake: stopped in /usr/bsd/src/x11/xauth
*** Error code 1

Stop.
bmake: stopped in /usr/bsd/src/x11/xauth

>How-To-Repeat:

So far as I can see, at the very least 'x11' and 'xext' should be installed, so 
is this a PKG_CONFIG_PATH issue, or are the installed X11 pacakges not 
installing a pkg-config file?

Even explicitly setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /usr/bsd/lib/pkgconfig doesn't alter 
the problem...
