Hello to you all.

I encounter an error while installing from ports in FreeBSD 7.2.

It says:

checking for XCB... configure: error: Package requirements (xcb >= 1.4)
were not met:

Requested 'xcb >= 1.4' but version of XCB is 1.2

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

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

===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to ntarmos at cs.uoi.gr [maintainer] and attach the
"/usr/ports/x11/xcb-util/work/xcb-util-0.3.6/config.log" including the output
of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide
an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls
/var/db/pkg`).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xcb-util.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/cairo.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/cairo.

*** Error code 1

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nfsen.



1) What does it mean to install software in non-standard prefix?

2)How do I adjust the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if I
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

3)How do I set the environment variables XCB_CFLAGS
and XCB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.


Please find attached the log file from
/usr/ports/x11/xcb-util/work/xcb-util-0.3.6/config.log on installing from
ports in FreeBSD 7.2.



Thank You.
