[SOLVED] Problems building libtorrent+rtorrent

I used this guide to easily build libtorrent+rtorrent on my ubuntu box and want to do the same on my archlinux laptop. However, when doing ./configure for rtorrent I get this message:

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for STUFF... configure: error: Package requirements (sigc++-2.0 libcurl >= 7.12.0 libtorrent >= 0.11.8) were not met:

No package 'libtorrent' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables STUFF_CFLAGS
and STUFF_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

libtorrent installed successfully in /usr/local/lib and I have included /usr/local/lib in my /etc/ld.so.conf.

Why is libtorrent then not found??

Any particular reason for trying to build the latest trunk version yourself instead of using the nice packages in community?

There's also a SVN package in the AUR here.

Yes I know I could just Pacman -S the whole thing, but I though I could just build it straight from his svn trunk for once, and if anything learn a thing or two about compiling stuff in the process.

If anyone has done this on Arch I'd be interested in the tweaks necessary to get it done.

Re: [SOLVED] Problems building libtorrent+rtorrent

I added /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable and now it works
