 You're right - IRIX provides no pkg-config files for anything.
 
 Does this mean that I have no option but to abandon my native X
 installation if I wish to install packages, such as pidgin, which do
 have a reliance on X components (even if the OS does supply them in
 some shape or form)?  Or is there some other way to generate or remove
 the need for pkg-config files for native components?
