Configure error

[Charlie]

I'm having issues trying to compile SVN.

It seems unable to find bullet, but I just installed
bullet/bullet-devel in Fedora through yum.

- C

[charles@charles racer]$ ls /usr/include/btBullet*
/usr/include/btBulletCollisionCommon.h /usr/include/btBulletDynamicsCommon.h

[charles@charles racer]$ ls /usr/lib/libBullet*
/usr/lib/libBulletCollision.so /usr/lib/libBulletDynamics.so.2.75
/usr/lib/libBulletCollision.so.2 /usr/lib/libBulletSoftBody.so
/usr/lib/libBulletCollision.so.2.75 /usr/lib/libBulletSoftBody.so.2
/usr/lib/libBulletDynamics.so /usr/lib/libBulletSoftBody.so.2.75
/usr/lib/libBulletDynamics.so.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 libtrack_CFLAGS
and libtrack_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Yes, it doesn't look like pkg-config is finding the bullet package.

Could you post the output of this command?

The output should be 2.75 when it works, but it might tell you what is
wrong.

I think there should be a /usr/lib/pkgconfig/bullet.pc if you installed
bullet with a package manager, with contents something like this:

This is mine but with the /local removed from the prefix line, since I
compiled bullet from source.
