[ale] pkg-config --define-variable error

[JK]

OK.  You can try this (it worked for me):

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
pkg-config --libs taglib-sharp

If that works, then ./configure should work (in the same
shell; ./configure needs PKG_CONFIG_PATH to be set).

Basically, PKG_CONFIG_PATH needs to be set to the directory
containing taglib-sharp.pc.
