I'm trying to install Banshee 1.0 via source and during ./configure it tells
me that taglib-sharp is not there.  So; I download and installed it via
source - no problem.  I ran ./configure for banshee again and it says the
same thing.

----
checking for NUNIT... no
configure: WARNING: Could not find nunit: tests will not be available.
checking for TAGLIB_SHARP... configure: error: Package requirements
(taglib-sharp >= 2.0.0) were not met:

No package 'taglib-sharp' 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 TAGLIB_SHARP_CFLAGS
and TAGLIB_SHARP_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
-----

So; it looks like I need to do something with PKG_CONFIG_PATH or pkg-config
in order for the system to recognize that taglib-sharp is installed.
Currently it looks like it installed it in my /usr/local/lib and the system
is setup to look in /usr/lib.
