    I attempted to build AbiWord and got the following. What's wrong?

    You can run ./configure now.

error: PKG_CHECK_MODULES isn't defined
 
   Either pkg.m4 wasn't in aclocal's search path or pkgconfig
   (or pkgconfig-devel?) isn't installed.
 
   If pkg-config is installed in <prefix> then re-run autogen.sh:
 
       ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I <prefix>/share/aclocal" ./autogen.sh
