./configure: bdw-gc not found when building Inkscape from source

What is the common way to investigate on this issue that appears during ./configure?

configure: error: Package requirements (bdw-gc >= 7.1 cairo >= 1.10 cairomm-1.0 >= 1.9.8 glib-2.0 >= 2.28 glibmm-2.4 >= 2.28 giomm-2.4 gsl gthread-2.0 >= 2.0 libpng >= 1.2 libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.11 libxslt >= 1.0.15 pango >= 1.24 pangoft2 >= 1.24 sigc++-2.0 >= 2.0.12 ) were not met:
No package 'bdw-gc' found

I just downloaded and built bdw-gc from

I guess the problem is maybe because bdw-gc was installed into /usr/local/bin, not /usr/local

I tried this:

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib LIBS=-lgc ./configure

bdw-gc refers to the Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collector for C and C++. You need to install the gc-devel or libgc-dev package.

In openSUSE:

zypper install gc-devel

In Fedora:

yum install gc-devel

In Ubuntu:

apt-get install libgc-dev

Here's more information:

And:

$ apt-cache search boehm
