Description of problem:
It appears that many libraries are not installed with pkg-config files
(/usr/lib/pkg-config/*.pc) under RedHat 9.  I first noticed this with libgnome,
libgnomeui and their bretheren.

The lack of pkg-config files prevents the compilation and/or execution of
programs such as FireStarter.

Is this a bug, oversight, or what?  Is there a fix for it?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libgnome

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the firestarter source tarball
(http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/firestarter/firestarter-0.9.1.2.tar.gz?download)

2. Untar it in a work directory.
3. "./configure" and watch it complain.
    

Actual Results:  The configure script will abort with "libgnome-2.0 was not
found in the pkg-config search path".  Looking at /usr/lib/pkg-config, there is
no libgnome*.pc file.

Expected Results:  I'd expect .configure to finish, allowing one to make the
program.
