Output from pkg-config is not formatted, therefore the output can look like this:
cking for DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: Package requirements (
glib-2.0 >= 2.8.0, gtk+-2.0 >= 2.8.3, libxml-2.0 >=
2.6.12 libxslt >= 1.1.7 libgnomeui-2.0 >= 2.6.0
libglade-2.0 >= 2.3.1 gnome-vfs-2.0 >= 2.9.2
gnome-vfs-module-2.0 gconf-2.0
gnome-desktop-2.0 >= 2.9.91 libgnomeprint-2.2 >=
2.4.0 libgnomeprintui-2.2 >= 2.4.0 ) were not met.
You should also be told WHICH of the package requirements failed. Otherwise you have to guess.
