On my system, botan-config is at /usr/bin/botan-config and pkg-config is not installed.

I believe that the configure script is discovering botan-config for itself, based on the presence of the message "checking for botan-config... /usr/bin/botan-config" in the output.

Adding "--with-botan=/usr" does not change the ultimate result. The configure script fails with the same error message:
checking botan/botan.h usability... yes
checking botan/botan.h presence... yes
checking for botan/botan.h... yes
checking for Botan library... no
configure: error: Needs Botan library 1.8 or higher

Thanks very much for your help. Jeff.
