configure can't find gconf2

[Mike Adolf]

Greetings,
I am trying to install Gnucash 2.2.6  and get a configure check error.

------------------------------------------------------
Package gconf-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps 
you should add the directory containing `gconf-2.0.pc' to the 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gconf-2.0' found
configure: error: Library requirements (gconf-2.0 >= "2.0") not met; 
consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your 
libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
--------------------------------------------------------
There is no gconf-2.0.pc in /usr/lib/pkgconfig. In fact I could not find 
it anywhere on my system. Also, /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig is empty.  If I 
need to set a symbolic link to some .pc in pkgconfig, I don't know which 
one.  Can I make my own gconf-2.0.pc file? Any ideas?

Mike
