Hi Guido,

I am specifying this location:

root at titanic:/home/luque/GecodeJ/release-1.0.1# ls -l 
/home/luque/sources/gecode/gecode-1.3.0/misc/*.pc
-rw-r--r-- 1 luque luque 323 2006-10-23 11:59 
/home/luque/sources/gecode/gecode-1.3.0/misc/gecode-minimodel.pc
-rw-r--r-- 1 luque luque 309 2006-10-23 11:59 
/home/luque/sources/gecode/gecode-1.3.0/misc/gecode.pc
-rw-r--r-- 1 luque luque 330 2006-10-23 11:59 
/home/luque/sources/gecode/gecode-1.3.0/misc/gecode-search.pc


The message I am getting is the  following:

Please make sure that Gecode is installed, and that the directory
<prefix>/lib/pkgconfig is on the default path for pkg-config.
Otherwise, extend the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable accordingly.
