While I would normally smile and agree with you, in this case that is
not true, so I will defend the OS.

This is in fact a bug with the FreeBSD _PORT_ of glib-2.0 - If they
are installing files into /usr/local/.. then this MUST be reflected in
glib-2.0.pc so that these files can be found. That is how it is
designed to work. As David S pointed out, OpenDarwin has now fixed
that porting bug and FreeBSD-ports need to do likewise.

"FreeBSDism" def'n: The inexplicable need to bash Linux.

:) Just balancing the books. Nothing personal - I use FreeBSD/OpenBSD too!
