help installing gphoto2

[pk_volt]

so I have a canon s500. I do an emerge -s gphoto2 and the latest version that shows up is 2.1.4. But the latest version from the site has 2.1.5, which is the only version that supports my digital camera.

So I downloaded both libgphoto2 2.1.5 and gphoto2 2.1.5

installing libgphoto2 was ok, but when I try to configure gphoto2 it says:

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for libgphoto2 >= 2.1.2... Package libgphoto2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgphoto2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libgphoto2' found

configure: error: Library requirements (libgphoto2 >= 2.1.2) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.


I looked in the configure help, but I couldn't find out how to specify the pkg-config dir.

-thanks guys.
