I installed OOF2 [1] successfully on a PC running NetBSD/i386 
-current (built from sources CVS-updated in May 2006) and using 
packages installed from source (using pkgsrc CVS-updated in December 
2006).  However, it won't install on a PC running NetBSD/i386 3.1 
using precompiled packages downloaded from 
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/3.1/i386/All/ :

% pwd
% /usr/home/yicai/installers/NIST/OOF/OOF2/2.0.3/oof2-2.0.3
% /usr/bin/time sh -c 'python setup.py build --skip-swig 
--library-dirs=/usr/pkg/lib --blas-libraries="blas" 
--blas-link-args="-lg2c -lm" install --prefix=~/oof2 > 
python-setup.py.log 2>&1'
         1.44 real         0.09 user         0.04 sys
% cat *.log
gnome-config: not found
Can't find pygtk-2.0! Version 2.6 or later required
%

Can you suggest a solution, please?

I wonder why the precompiled version behaves differently from the 
source one?  For reference, OOF2 also installs fine on a machine 
running NetBSD/amd64 -current (built from sources CVS-updated in June 
2007) with packages installed from source (using the 2007Q2 pkgsrc).

Steve Langer, one of the OOF2 developers said:

  'setup.py invokes "pkg-config" to check the version numbers (via a call to
   pkg_check in oof2setuputils.py).  pkg-config must call gnome-config, because
   gnome-config isn't called directly by any oof2 code.'

and suggested I run this command to see what happened:

% pkg-config --atleast-version=2.6.0 pygtk-2.0
gnome-config: not found
%

He also suggested setting the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH to 
the directory containing the file pygtk-2.0.pc if it's on the system. 
It is:

% ls -l /usr/pkg/lib/pkgconfig/pygtk-2.0.pc
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  651 Jul  9 22:14 /usr/pkg/lib/pkgconfig/pygtk-2.0.pc
%

but that didn't help:

% setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/pkg/lib/pkgconfig
% pkg-config --atleast-version=2.6.0 pygtk-2.0
gnome-config: not found
%

I installed the binary packages on the machine running 3.1 with these commands:

# pkg_add blas
# pkg_add lapack
# pkg_add kdebase-3.5.7nb4
# mkdir /tmp/.ICE-unix
# chmod 1777 /tmp/.ICE-unix
# pkg_add python24
# pkg_add ImageMagick
# pkg_add vera-ttf
# pkg_add gtk2+
# pkg_add xforms
# pkg_add libgnomecanvas
# pkg_add py24-gtk2
# pkg_add gimp-2.3.18nb1
# cd /usr/pkg/bin
# ln python2.4 python
# pkg_add pkg-config
# pkg_add gmake

I think the machine which is running NetBSD/i386 -current has the 
same packages installed, with the exception of vera-ttf.  I'll append 
the output of 'pkg_info -a' on the 3.1 machine to this email.
