 Oh, this is mono svn.

+This bug report is invalid.
+
+The following command line works:
+
+psi.Arguments = "--libs foo";
+
+Output: (stderr)
+
+Package foo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
+Perhaps you should add the directory containing `foo.pc'
+to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
+No package 'foo' found.
+
+
+When I try this:
+
+psi.Arguments = "--variable=libdir foo"
+
+Output:
+
+<nothing>
+
+
+The same from the command line:
+
+pkg-config --variable=libdir foo
+
+Output:
+
+<nothing>
+
+
+I guess that pkg-config doesn't get the same environment
+when called from your application. Maybe you need to set
+PKG_CONFIG_PATH or whatever, but this is not Mono's problem ;-)
