The rtt pkgconfig is incomplete, as it contains the include paths for boost, xerces, ace and tao, but does not contain any library path for these libraries.

This is what I get:

===================orocos-rtt-gnulinux.pc========
prefix=/opt/orocos-rtt-1.8.2_boost138
exec_prefix=${prefix} # defining another variable in terms of the first
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
