[Qgis-developer] configure error

[Tom Elwertowski]

Kirk,

The use of pkg-config was added to files used by autogen to create the 
configure script around mid-March. Some discussion can be found in the 
qgis-developer archives.

I installed pkg-config 0.20 at that time and found that it didn't find 
Qt4/Mac. I didn't uninstall it afterwards so perhaps it is needed 
anyway. If so, I would consider this a bug since using the --with-qtdir 
option should eliminate the need for pkg-config.

Try installing pkg-config to see if that helps.
