Making and Installing Mono 0.30.1 on FreeBSD 5.1

[Joseph A. Golkosky]

Hello guys,

I'm just wondering why when doing the make, I'm getting the Unknown 
component pkgconfig message. I'm sure that pkgconfig is installed on my 
system, since I needed it to get mono 0.24 working. Is it possible that I 
need to update the pkgconfig port on my system?
