BUG: atk install does not automatically pick up location of glib-2

[frank@…]

When installing atk via port, (i.e. sudo port install atk), it does not automatically pick up the location of glib-2, also installed via port.

Steps to reproduce: sudo port install glib2 sudo port install atk Observe error message from atk: "... checking for GLIB - version >= 2.5.7... no * Could not run GLIB test program, checking why... * The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the * exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed. configure: error: * GLIB 2.5.7 or better is required. The latest version of * GLIB is always available from ​ftp://ftp.gtk.org/. If GLIB is installed * but not in the same location as pkg-config add the location of the file * glib-2.0.pc to the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

Warning: the following items did not execute (for atk): com.apple.activate com.apple.configure com.apple.build com.apple.destroot com.apple.archive com.apple.install [frank@prometheus frank]$"

Workaround: [frank@prometheus frank]$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig [frank@prometheus frank]$ sudo port install atk

After setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH in my shell and re-running the port install atk command, the configure and install complete without error.
