Which Fedora version does matter here: see the posting guide
(including for which list to use: not this one!). But you have not
most likely not installed the correct RPMs:
gannet% rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libgvc.pc
graphviz-devel-2.26.3-2.fc14.x86_64
on Fedora 14. Almost certainly you have graphviz but not
graphviz-devel installed.
On some earlier versions of Fedora you needed to add a library path to
the ld.so cache.

This either indicates that Graphviz is old or that something is wrong. Verify
Graphviz is installed and that PKG_CONFIG_PATH is correct.
