	Ok, you're right. I had a bunch of old .pc files from previous
installations, including a mozilla install I don't use anymore. It was
my fault ;) I just removed them now.

	But, I noticed that Firefox 2 used to install those .pc files
and Firefox 3 don't do that anymore. So, I don't have any .pc
firefox files.

	The solution was to use:

GECKO_LIBS="-L/usr/local/gecko-sdk/lib" GECKO_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/gecko-sdk/include" ./configure

	It finds Gecko correctly, but generates this:

/usr/local/bin/xpidl -w -m header -I  -I . -e src/nsIScriptableGeckoMediaPlayer.h src/nsIScriptableGeckoMediaPlayer.idl

** (process:31644): WARNING **: Parse of . failed: Is a directory

	Is there a way I can give it by hand what it wants?

	I have the following directory structure:

fraga@tux ~/src$ ls /usr/local/gecko-sdk/
bin@  idl@  include@  lib@  sdk/  xpcom-config.h

	Thanks again! ;)
