3038	Gail-1.18.0 gail.pc issue	Robert L. Inglis	blfs-book@…	"I've run into this error on the last 4 Gnome builds using BLFS-SVN.

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for GAIL... configure: error: Package requirements (gail >= 1.1.0) were not met:

Failed to open '/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gail.pc': Too many open files
Package 'gail', required by 'libgnomecanvas-2.0', not 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 GAIL_CFLAGS
and GAIL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

You need to REM out Requires.private: libgnomecanvas-2.0 for any pkg that reads gail.pc

Same src after REM.

I'm not sure if its a circular issue caused from libgnomecanvas-2.0.pc or if its a gail.pc issue.  I just REM gail.pc and work from there.
