[Bug 1311888] [NEW] "pkg-config --libs OpenIPMIpthread" fails

[Radosław Łoboda]

Public bug reported:

When you try to run "pkg-config --libs OpenIPMIpthread" expected output
should be:

-lOpenIPMIpthread -lOpenIPMIutils -lOpenIPMI

but instead you get:

Package pthread was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pthread.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'pthread', required by 'OpenIPMIpthread', not found


This is an issue known back in 2008, with a WORKING fix: http://sourceforge.net/p/openipmi/feature-requests/5/

Stumbled upon this problem over a year ago while trying to compile
collectd, it's definitely problem with the file
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/OpenIPMIpthread.pc
