I’m writing this here as I debug it. I’ll post a resolution as a follow up if I find one.

I can’t seem to edit my own posts. The subject should read:

Debian Testing (lenny), Librdf0, Missing Pkg-config Path Halts Stable SVN Branch Compliation

it looks like I need to learn to read a little better.

librdf != liblrdf

say this 10 times fast:

“librdf is not liblrdf”

I had a similar but real error when compiling a new libffado (for jack and jack for ardour2).

The problem was that pkg-config did not find my locally compiled version of libraw1394 but
instead showed version and path of the debian package.

In that case one should change the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable first take the
packages available in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/.pc and then the ones in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/.pc.
